Scaffold new skills with valid frontmatter, directory layout, and a starter SKILL.md. Use when building a new reusable workflow or wrapping a new API (e.g. create a kalshi skill, scaffold an API helper, start a charting skill).

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

## Core Principles
**Concise is key.** The context window is a shared resource between the system prompt, skills, conversation history, and your reasoning. Every line in a SKILL.md competes with everything else. Only add what you don't already know — don't document tool parameters visible in the system prompt, don't prescribe step-by-step workflows for things you can figure out. Focus on domain knowledge, interpretation guides, decision frameworks, and gotchas.

**Progressive disclosure.** Skills load in three levels:
1. **Always in context** — name, emoji, and description appear in `<available_skills>` in every conversation. This is how you decide which skill to activate. The description must be a strong trigger.
2. **On activation** — the full SKILL.md body is loaded via `read_file` when you decide the skill is relevant. This is where workflow, guidelines, and decision trees live.
3. **On demand** — scripts/, references/, and assets/ are only loaded when explicitly needed. Heavy content goes here, not in the body.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add starchild-ai-agent/official-skills/skill-creator@sha256:e92c18418cd0f1a2

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.2.1, 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.
