Use this whenever the user asks to write, author, or scaffold a new SecureContext skill (Anthropic-style filesystem skill at ~/.claude/skills/<name>/ or <project>/.claude/skills/<name>/). The skill walks the agent through the four-invariant checklist, generates a SKILL.md from a template, and runs the bundled linter + admission preview to confirm the new skill will admit cleanly before the operator commits it.

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 skills

This is the meta-skill: it teaches an agent how to write other skills, and
it ships a linter + admission-preview tool to catch errors before the
admission gate does.

## When to use

Trigger phrases:

- "Write a skill for X"
- "Create a skill that does Y"
- "Scaffold a new skill"
- "Help me author a skill"
- "How do I make a skill that …"
- Anywhere the operator asks for a new `~/.claude/skills/<name>/` or
  `<project>/.claude/skills/<name>/`.

DO NOT use this for:

- Editing an existing skill (use the dashboard "Edit frontmatter" button
  instead).
- Documenting facts (those go in `references/` or `zc_remember`, not in
  a skill).
- One-off tasks (if the procedure isn't worth running ≥3 times, don't
  encode it as a skill).

## Procedure

### Step 1 — confirm the four invariants are satisfiable

Before writing a single line, talk to the operator and confirm:

1. **Trigger** — can you write a one-sentence "use this whenever X" rule?
   If not, stop. The user's request is for a one-off, not a skill.
2. **Procedural** — does the work decompose into 3–7 ordered steps?
   If not, the procedure is either too vague or too narrow.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add iampantherr/securecontext/writing-skills@sha256:1c08ff0d63d295c0

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.

Starting a new one? Use a template for SKILL.md on mdpantry, which passes every one of these checks and says what to change in it.
