How to write a skill that Qwen3.8 (27B or Flash-Next) will actually follow. For the author, not the model. Nine rules with the run that produced each: enumerate the unnamed deliverables, a command and a pass condition per rule, a fixed done-report, scripts as files, no sentence that harms when followed literally, measured anchors, a stated boundary, one with/without pair before merge, and one shared report shape across the family.
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
# Writing a skill for Qwen3.8 (`qwen38-skill-style`) **The premise (the developer's, 2026-09-05):** Qwen3.8-27B is strong for its size; what its parameter count cannot supply is the *thinking-of* — the unnamed deliverable, the pushback, the discipline — that a frontier model gets from scale. A skill in this family stands in for those missing parameters as a written guide. It is not a new capability, and it is not written for what the model already does unaided. **The model:** capable, literal, and forgetful of what is not written. On 2026-09-05 the same brief went to it nine times without a skill and five times with one (`Qwen-3.8-27B-Tuning/docs/results/11-quality-bench-2026-09-05.md`, xeno-skills #353). Without a skill it omitted the same unnamed deliverables every time and got the named ones right. With a skill shaped as below it ran the checks itself and scored 8/8. With a skill shaped as prose it broke a rule the prose stated (#134: nine pages over the two-font cap with `design-rules` loaded). Each rule here names the run behind it. ## The nine rules (and one exception, at the end, for the harness) …

How to install
mdr add xenodeve/xeno-skills/qwen38-skill-style@sha256:48acc6bd46f376c3The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261006.5f9ecd1, 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.
