Runs a Complexity Domain Sort, sorting a situation into Clear, Complicated, Complex, Chaotic, or Confusion and choosing the response posture that fits, caveat-first. It leads with the weak evidence (the 2021 PMC internal-medicine review found scientific proof of its validity has yet to be provided), then forces the discipline the bare label lacks, namely an explicit response posture and a concrete next action rather than just a name. Use only when this complexity sort (also known as Cynefin)…
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
<!-- thinking-framework-skills | https://github.com/product-on-purpose/thinking-framework-skills | Apache-2.0 --> # Complexity Domain Sort The Complexity Domain Sort triages a situation by how knowable its causal structure is, then picks the response posture that fits: sense-categorize-respond for the clear, probe-sense-respond for the complex, and so on. It is descriptively named here; the framework it derives from is Cynefin, and its evidence is conceptual only. This skill runs the sort honestly. It leads with that caveat, then forces the one thing the bare label omits and that makes the sort worth running at all: a concrete next action tied to the domain, because saying "this is complex" is not a decision. ## Before you run this: the evidence caveat …

How to install
mdr add product-on-purpose/thinking-framework-skills/think-complexity-domain-sort@sha256:64580dbce7578393The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, 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.
