Author or refine a skill for maximum token economy without losing intent. Use when creating any new skill or editing an existing `SKILL.md`.

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

# Compact skill creator

Author a new skill, or improve an existing one, so it carries **all** its rules and intent in the
**least text possible**. Cost has two tiers: the `description` sits in context *every* session — the
skill's most expensive text — while the body loads only when the skill triggers. Both stay lean. Be
interactive: gather what you need, draft, then apply only on approval.

## Compaction — always via compact-docs-writer

The compaction rules — the least-text principle, the removal-audit verification, and the
present-and-confirm with a measured word delta — live in
[compact-docs-writer](../compact-docs-writer/SKILL.md), the single source of truth; this skill never
restates or re-derives them. From the moment you draft (step 4) through self-review (step 5) and
present (step 6), **always** invoke compact-docs-writer and follow its workflow on the skill text —
reading it, applying its principles by hand, or naming it after a direct edit does not count. This
skill adds only the skill-specific layer: trigger taxonomy, agnosticism, progressive disclosure,
completion criteria, metadata, and the version bump.

## Trigger taxonomy — classify first

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add eai-org/agent-toolkit/compact-skill-creator@sha256:526bf3858feea07f

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.25, 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.
