Execute skill improvement plans by making edits to SKILL.md files and references, validating changes, and optionally syncing to global skill locations. Use this skill when implementing planned skill changes, applying fixes from a review, executing an improvement plan, batch-editing skills, or when someone says "apply the plan", "fix the skills", "implement the changes", "update the skills", "execute the improvement plan", or "make those edits". Also trigger after skill-improvement-plan…

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 Updater

Execute skill improvement plans by making specific edits to skill files, validating the changes, and prompting the user to sync.

## When to Use

- After skill-improvement-plan generates a plan and the user says "go"
- When you have a clear list of edits to make across skills
- When applying fixes from a review report directly (skipping the planning step for simple fixes)

## Inputs

- **Improvement plan** — a structured plan from skill-improvement-plan, OR a list of specific changes to make
- **Scope (optional)** — which priority levels to execute (e.g., "just P0", "P0 and P1", "all")

## Process

### Step 1: Parse the Plan

Read the improvement plan. Extract the ordered list of changes with:
- Target skill and file path
- What to change
- The specific edit (old text → new text, new content, file to create/delete)

If the user provided ad-hoc changes instead of a formal plan, organize them into the same structure.

### Step 2: Validate Before Editing

For each change, before applying:

1. **Read the target file** — confirm it exists and the content matches expectations
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ivy00johns/skill-madness/skill-updater@sha256:613817127eea137e

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.0, 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.
