magpie-newcomer-issue-explainer skillA

magpie-newcomer-issue-explainer is agent-read markdown (skill) from apache/magpie: Given an open good-first-issue on the configured `<upstream>` repo, explain it in beginner terms and sketch a concrete approach: which files to read first, what "done" looks like, and where to ask follow-up questions — without writing any code or fix. First runs an issue assessment to confirm the issue is open, non-security, and scope-clear. Then drafts the explanation for maintainer review. Read-only; nothing is posted without explicit maintainer confirmation..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

How to install

Latest version
mdr add apache/magpie/magpie-newcomer-issue-explainer@git:20260910.227fcba
Exact content
mdr add apache/magpie/magpie-newcomer-issue-explainer@sha256:5c29eb31eb3c0391

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
