skill-to-subagent SKILL.md skillA
skill-to-subagent from blackbelttechnology/pi-agent-dashboard is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Turn an existing pi skill into an isolated subagent and wire it into a project''s implementation pipeline. Decides fitness first, writes the bridge agent, routes the model, tunes context inheritance, and wires a spawn checkpoint. Use on "wrap this skill as a subagent", "turn X into a subagent", "should this be a subagent or a skill", "subagentize this", "add a subagent to the pipeline".
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
# Skill → Subagent ## Overview A **skill** is instructions loaded *into* the main agent's context (progressive disclosure: name+description always present, body on trigger). A **subagent** is a worker spawned *beside* the main agent in an **isolated** context window that returns a distilled report, then burns its context. They are orthogonal. Converting a skill to a subagent is worth it when the skill's work is **read-heavy or write-light, self-contained, and returns a distilled artifact** — because running it inline would bloat the parent's context and degrade its reasoning. It is **harmful** when the work is coherence-critical (decisions later steps depend on), because a subagent only sees a compressed snapshot and can make conflicting assumptions. This skill is the repeatable procedure for that conversion, plus wiring the result into a project's implementation loop. It is tech-stack independent (the target project can be any language) but pi-platform-specific. ## When to Use - You have a skill whose work would bloat the main context if run inline - A phase of an implementation loop is read-heavy (audit, lookup, summarize) or write-light (docs) and self-contained …

How to install
mdr add blackbelttechnology/pi-agent-dashboard/skill-to-subagent@sha256:d9d329e83d6f0f92The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260805.ff041ae, 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.
