This skill should be used when the user asks to "find skills in the wild", "assimilate popular workflows", "discover SKILL.md files in repos", "research external skills", "find workflow patterns", "survey the skill landscape", "what skills exist out there", or wants to investigate public repositories for extractable processes, babysitter plugins, and reusable procedural insights. Searches GitHub for SKILL.md files, classifies repos by archetype, and maintains structured research under…

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

# Assimilate Popular Workflows

Search public GitHub repositories for SKILL.md files, classify each repo by archetype, and maintain structured research documents under `docs/reference-repos/[org]/[repo-name]/`. The goal is not to copy skills verbatim but to extract transferable value: processes for the babysitter process library, babysitter marketplace plugin ideas, and implicit procedural knowledge that can be codified into babysitter JS processes.

### Process Library Placement Rules

Extracted processes go into the babysitter process library (`library/`). Placement depends on scope:

| What it is | Where it goes | Examples |
|------------|---------------|---------|
| Full generic dev methodology (entire workflow paradigm) | `methodologies/<name>/` | agile, gsd, tdd, scrum, kanban, waterfall |
| Common cross-domain pattern (reusable across many specializations) | `specializations/shared/` | audit-pipeline, expert-advisory, progressive-disclosure |
| Domain-specific process | `specializations/<domain>/` | security-compliance, devops-sre-platform, data-science-ml |
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add a5c-ai/babysitter/assimilate-popular-workflows@sha256:ebbd089014e207d2

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260607.b14b456, 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.
