ashlr-genome-author SKILL.md skillA

ashlr-genome-author from ashlrai/ashlr-plugin is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add ashlrai/ashlr-plugin/ashlr-genome-author@git:20260601.33fc708

Guidelines for when and how to call ashlr__genome_propose to keep the project genome accurate. Covers post-architectural-decision proposals, correct summary format, and what NOT to propose. Keeps the genome signal-rich without noise.

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

# Ashlr Genome Author

The genome is the project's living architectural memory. `ashlr__genome_propose` adds new knowledge to it. This skill governs when and how to call it so the genome stays signal-rich.

## When to call `ashlr__genome_propose`

Call it after:

- **A new module is added** — new file(s) that introduce a concept, service, or subsystem not previously in the genome.
- **A schema change** — database table added/dropped/migrated, or a core TypeScript interface redefined.
- **An auth or security change** — new middleware, permission model, token strategy, or RLS policy.
- **A routing change** — new API endpoint, route group, or server registered.
- **An architectural decision** — choosing a pattern, library, or data model that future contributors need to understand.

## Summary format

Write a **2–5 sentence past-tense summary** that describes:
1. What was changed or added.
2. Why (the intent or problem it solves).
3. Where: end with the relevant file paths.

Example:
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ashlrai/ashlr-plugin/ashlr-genome-author@sha256:aa5ef83d4c0a1fed

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260601.33fc708, 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.
