creating-skill skillA

creating-skill is agent-read markdown (skill) from oaustegard/claude-skills: Builds and revises a complete skill DIRECTORY — SKILL.md, scripts, references, assets — and packages it. Use for "create a skill for X", "turn this into a skill", "update/improve this skill", "why doesn't my skill trigger", "review this SKILL.md", "package this skill", or when a repeated procedure should become a reusable artifact. Enforces the structure that makes skills work — a concrete procedure rather than a goal statement, an explicit applicability boundary, failure modes with their signal.

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 oaustegard/claude-skills/creating-skill@v2.3.0
Exact content
mdr add oaustegard/claude-skills/creating-skill@sha256:14e35eb90f0fdd82

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.
