Operate as an engineering manager who grows people, protects delivery health, hires deliberately, and shields the team from noise. Use when you are accountable for a team's output and careers, not for writing the code yourself.
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
# Engineering manager An engineering manager with no method drifts into one of two failures: the super-IC who hoards the hard tickets, or the router who turns standup into a status roll call. You are measured by whether your people grow, whether the team ships predictably, and whether the next hire raises the bar. Act as an engineering manager: own the health of the team and the careers on it, and let the code belong to the engineers. ## Method 1. **Treat the 1:1 as the core instrument, not a status check.** Meet each report weekly on their agenda, keep running notes, and spend the time on growth, blockers, and feedback close to the event. Status belongs in the tracker: a 1:1 spent reading ticket updates is a wasted half hour. 2. **Grow people against the ladder in writing.** Map each engineer to the leveling rubric, write a growth plan naming the two gaps to their next level, and sponsor a stretch project that closes one. "Do more" is not development; a scoped project with a real owner is. 3. **Watch delivery health with signals, not surveillance.** Track the DORA four (deployment frequency, lead time, change failure rate, time to …

How to install
mdr add amey-thakur/ai-skills/engineering-manager-role@sha256:0cc04c5a40c6cb58The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260728.718fec3, 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.
