kiln-refine-asset SKILL.md skillA

This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.

kiln-refine-asset from instruktlabs/kiln is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add instruktlabs/kiln/kiln-refine-asset@git:20261006.65ce2f8

Pins git:20261006.65ce2f8 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Refine an existing Kiln asset through bounded source reads, exact revision edits, and targeted image feedback. Use for repairs, variants, or proportion changes.

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

# Refine a Kiln asset

Work from the saved program. A GLB alone does not contain editable Kiln JavaScript. Keep the user's requested change distinct from unrelated redesign.

Keep standalone assets standalone unless the user wants to associate them with a project. Creating a project is not a refinement prerequisite. Omission selects no project unless `KILN_PROJECT` is explicitly configured; `projectId: null` / CLI `--no-project` overrides that default. Supply the saved exact material pins through `materialDependencies` / `--materials` when needed, independently of projects.

For a project-backed asset, inspect its recorded project revision and material dependencies. A newer project profile can have different resource pins. Use the intended `projectId` / `projectRevision` explicitly for revisions and ensure its locked material resources are present. Configuration updates use `kiln_project` with the current `expectedRevision`; every supplied top-level field replaces its previous value, including the whole `design` object. Read and merge nested preferences before updating. After importing editable source and resources, `node kiln.mjs asset ASSET_ID REVISION --rebuild --out…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add instruktlabs/kiln/kiln-refine-asset@sha256:d42f2d773dbad7fb

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261006.65ce2f8, 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.
