cp-skill-ground from zby/commonplace is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Ground one source-side claim by retaining minimum verbatim quotes or requiring the pinned snapshot. Use when a note needs source support or retained quotes; choose this skill, not cp-skill-ingest, for quote retention.
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
# Ground a source-dependent claim `$ARGUMENTS` supplies both inputs. Stop and ask if either is missing. **Target:** exact repo-relative ingest path or canonical source URL. **Claim needed:** source-side proposition or question. Do not include target prose or a target-specific transfer argument. This skill may reuse or append verbatim quotes and is the only procedure that writes an ingest's Quotes section. It never edits the target artifact, never changes any other part of an ingest, and never interprets a paraphrase stored in an ingest as source support. ## Composition contract This skill owns source resolution and retained source evidence, not target-side interpretation. Its direct callers include `cp-skill-write`, `cp-skill-write-multistage`, and `assess-a-claim-bearing-artifact-against-external-literature.md`. It may invoke `cp-skill-ingest` for a canonical URL with no ingest and may return the conditional `re-ingest.md` route. `Target`, `Claim needed`, the three result literals, ingest-creation authority, and Quotes ownership are shared interfaces. Before changing one, inspect these composition siblings under the instruction collection's edit-time rule. ## Procedure …

How to install
mdr add zby/commonplace/cp-skill-ground@sha256:38576a6539433c68The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260928.765df35, 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.
