Skill Builder SKILL.md skillA

This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed, one of 3 indexed copies. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.

Skill Builder from spencermarx/open-code-review is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add spencermarx/open-code-review/Skill Builder@git:20260304.1a73d7f

Pins git:20260304.1a73d7f in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Create new Claude Code Skills with proper YAML frontmatter, progressive disclosure structure, and complete directory organization. Use when you need to build custom skills for specific workflows, generate skill templates, or understand the Claude Skills specification.

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 Builder

## What This Skill Does

Creates production-ready Claude Code Skills with proper YAML frontmatter, progressive disclosure architecture, and complete file/folder structure. This skill guides you through building skills that Claude can autonomously discover and use across all surfaces (Claude.ai, Claude Code, SDK, API).

## Prerequisites

- Claude Code 2.0+ or Claude.ai with Skills support
- Basic understanding of Markdown and YAML
- Text editor or IDE

## Quick Start

### Creating Your First Skill

```bash
# 1. Create skill directory (MUST be at top level, NOT in subdirectories!)
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/my-first-skill

# 2. Create SKILL.md with proper format
cat > ~/.claude/skills/my-first-skill/SKILL.md << 'EOF'
---
name: "My First Skill"
description: "Brief description of what this skill does and when Claude should use it. Maximum 1024 characters."

# 3. Verify skill is detected
# Restart Claude Code or refresh Claude.ai

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add spencermarx/open-code-review/Skill Builder@sha256:3ebb2c70e4d816c2

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260304.1a73d7f, 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.
