Reference frameworks for coding interviews — the UMPIRE method, a pattern taxonomy (two-pointers, sliding-window, BFS/DFS, backtracking, dynamic-programming, graphs, and more), a Big-O cheatsheet, Python idioms, communication guidance, and anti-patterns. Used by the coding commands (/coding-explain, /practice-coding, /mock-coding, /coding-drill, /debrief-coding) to ground teaching and scoring; not read aloud verbatim.

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

# Coding Frameworks

## UMPIRE method

The default scaffold for a 35-45 minute algorithmic question — the coding analog of RESHADED. Six phases, run top to bottom: **U**nderstand, **M**atch, **P**lan, **I**mplement, **R**eview, **E**valuate. The signal an interviewer scores is the process, not just a passing solution — narrate every phase transition out loud. The single most common failure is jumping straight to Implement; the first three phases are where senior signal lives.

### Understand

- Restate the problem in your own words and get the interviewer to confirm before touching the keyboard.
- Ask the constraint questions that change the algorithm: input size (`n` up to 10? 10^5? 10^9?), value ranges (negatives? overflow?), duplicates, empty/single-element input, sorted-ness, and the return shape (index vs value, in-place vs new, all answers vs one). Then work one tiny example by hand so you and the interviewer share the same notion of "correct".

**Weak:** "Two-sum, got it — I'll loop and check pairs." (Never asked sorted-ness, duplicates, or indices-vs-values.)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add zoolcoder/scoutjobs/coding-frameworks@sha256:23fe90193459febf

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261018.2e6d9bd, 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.
