Use when a new feature folder must be created for the DAE pipeline, or when discuss promotes/parks an idea. Triggers — "/engineer.feature-init", "create a feature", "start a new feature", "init a feature".
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# feature-init Create a feature folder for the DAE pipeline — `feature.md` (the Ready contract), the folder, a branch, and a tracker entry. Checkpoint 1.5. ## When to use Five paths: - **From `discuss`** — receives a `feature_intake` payload in context (park or promote outcome). No interview. - **Standalone** — no payload; run the intake interview. - **From a tracker capture** — promoting an untriaged row a human added directly to the tracker (no `Slug`; see *Tracker-as-intake* in `references/tracker.md`). Pre-fill intake from the row (its title → `title`/`outcome`, `Type`, any notes); confirm the rest. Reuse the row — don't create a new one (Step 9). - **From a roadmap item** — promoting a strategic roadmap item (status `planned`) into a feature (typically from `next`'s ON THE ROADMAP bucket, or `discuss`). Pre-fill intake from the item (`title`, `area`, `notes`). Signalled by a `roadmap_ref` (the item `id`) passed in — carry it onto `feature.md` and mark the item in-progress (Step 9). See *the roadmap ↔ feature funnel* in `references/roadmap.md`. …

How to install
mdr add swingerman/engineer/feature-init@sha256:d7af657a60a34e68The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261020.b3a2099, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
