example from aws-samples/sample-aws-solutions-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add aws-samples/sample-aws-solutions-skills/example@v1.0

Pins v1.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

TEMPLATE — Replace with one paragraph that describes what this skill builds and when it should activate. Include trigger keywords, e.g., "build me a customer profile system". This text drives skill activation matching across Claude Code, Kiro, and Quick.

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 Name>

## Purpose
1-2 paragraphs on what this skill builds and for whom.

## Knowledge sources
- `shared/reference/architecture.md` — architecture decisions and rationale
- `shared/reference/decision-tree.md` — conditional logic
- `shared/reference/aws-services.md` — service / model catalog
- `shared/reference/constraints.md` — known limits and gotchas
- `shared/patterns/cdk-stacks.md` — full CDK stack source
- `shared/patterns/lambda-handlers.md` — full Lambda handler source
- `shared/patterns/frontend-pages.md` — React + Tailwind + shadcn/ui pages
- `shared/examples/` — industry-specific golden examples

## Workflow

### Phase 1: Discovery (conversational requirements)
List discovery questions the agent asks the user. Skip what is already known.

⛔ **GATE 1**: summarize requirements, await user confirmation.

### Phase 2: Architecture Design
- Apply `shared/reference/decision-tree.md`
- Cost estimate from `shared/reference/aws-services.md`
- Verify regional availability via AWS Knowledge MCP

⛔ **GATE 2**: present design table, await user confirmation.

### Phase 3: Code Generation
Reference `shared/patterns/*` to emit files in this order:
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add aws-samples/sample-aws-solutions-skills/example@sha256:eec2d6023a7f16d6

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, 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.
