sim-cli SKILL.md skillA

sim-cli from svd-ai-lab/sim-cli is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add svd-ai-lab/sim-cli/sim-cli@git:20261019.3a59f1d

Pins git:20261019.3a59f1d in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Cross-solver operating discipline for sim-cli workflows — tool choice, input classification, acceptance semantics, and escalation rules that apply across solvers. Use alongside the solver's own skill, which is self-contained for solver-specific work; this skill carries only the shared rules.

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

# sim-cli

You are working in a **sim-cli**-enabled solver workflow. Use the `sim`
runtime where it adds control and observability, and compose solver-native
tools directly where they are the right primitive. This skill carries the
**cross-solver discipline** — the rules that hold across sim-cli workflows,
regardless of which solver you drive.

The **solver skill** is self-contained for solver-specific work:
solver hard constraints, dependency chains, snippets, workflows, SDK/solver
notes. It does not depend on loading this skill — but it should stay
consistent with the discipline below. If a rule applies to more than one
solver, it belongs here, not in a solver skill.

---

## Execution models

The solver skill tells you which model the solver uses. Choose the narrowest
correct execution primitive; sim-cli is composable, not a universal wrapper.

| Model | Used by | Lifecycle |
|---|---|---|
| **Persistent session** | Drivers that hold a live process open | `sim connect → sim exec × N → sim inspect → sim disconnect` |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add svd-ai-lab/sim-cli/sim-cli@sha256:8b4e73fb53f2f3a4

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261019.3a59f1d, 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.
