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.

# Create Skill

Create one complete skill and register every repository surface without guessing. The workflow
plans first, fails closed on ambiguous conventions, and applies one approved change set.

## Commands

| Command | Purpose |
| --- | --- |
| `create-skill <name>` | Create and register a new skill with deterministic placeholder art. |
| `create-skill art <name>` | Preview and create or ingest thumbnail art for an existing skill. |
| `create-skill register <name>` | Preview and register an existing complete skill without replacing its authored files. |
| `create-skill check <name>` | Validate the skill shape and thumbnail parity without writing. |
| `create-skill fixture --input <json> --repo-root <path>` | Deterministically create a validated fixture skill without interview prompts. |

Every mutating command starts with `--dry-run`. Apply the unchanged plan only after the user
approves its single-use hash.

## Workflow

### 1. Resolve the request
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jongio/skills/create-skill@sha256:19ce2c2f08ae7191

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.1, 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.
