Use when starting any conversation. Establishes how to find and use skills, requiring skill invocation before any response.
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
## Skill Types
- **Rigid** (TDD, debugging) - Follow exactly
- **Flexible** (patterns) - Adapt principles to context
## Red Flags
- "This is just a simple question" - questions are tasks, check for skills
- "I need more context first" - skill check comes BEFORE clarifying questions
- "The skill is overkill" - simple things become complex, use it
## Tool Use
Meta-skill for the overall methodology. Ensures skills are always checked and invoked.
The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260601.da7723a, 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.
A 17 of 17 checks passed. Fixed automatic checks with no AI involved, so the same checks give the same answer every run.
