align 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.

align from hmmhmmhm/aligns.md is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add hmmhmmhm/aligns.md/align@v0.5.0

Pins v0.5.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Establish and maintain personal project alignment in ALIGNS.md, including selected PR or conversation history review for scoped taste invariants. Use when goals or priorities are unclear, important decisions diverge from the user's expectations, repeated corrections expose a missing criterion, or a long autonomous run needs judgment calibration. Apply existing agreements without reopening routine decisions.

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

# Align

Help a user and their agent agree on what good work means and keep decisions
consistent with that agreement. The maintained skill supplies the method;
project-root `ALIGNS.md` holds the user's current criteria. Updating the skill
must never replace, reconfirm, or migrate those criteria automatically.
Use the user's language and project conventions. Do not import preferences
from the skill's source repository.

## Existing installations

The agreement filename is now `ALIGNS.md`. If a project still has `ALIGN.md`,
read it as the existing agreement. When migration is authorized, rename the file
and update its instruction references without changing its criteria or confirmation
date. If both files exist, compare them with the user before choosing or merging;
never silently overwrite either. `$align` remains the invocation.

## Read before asking

Identify the target project, applicable instructions, existing `ALIGNS.md`,
relevant conversation, and changes that could affect the current decision.
Check whether Git is available and this is a work tree. Use available history
and uncommitted work; a timestamp does not prove all later work was reviewed.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add hmmhmmhm/aligns.md/align@sha256:3d58ea38ffdeeb67

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.5.0, 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.
