Authors and interprets Keyword Item Distributor (KID) `_KID.ini` files — runtime, no-ESP distribution of keywords onto item records, on the KID v3.5.0 grammar. Use when writing or auditing a `_KID.ini`, tagging items by name, archetype, equip-slot or stat filters, or asking why a KID line isn't applying; load it before composing any KID line, because a misread token silently changes what gets tagged. Keywords onto NPCs are SPID, not KID.

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

# KID Authoring

## Overview

KID (Keyword Item Distributor, by powerofthree) is an SKSE plugin that **adds keywords to item
records** — weapons, armor, ammo, magic effects, potions, scrolls, books, soul gems, spells,
enchantments and more (19 item types) — **at game startup**, driven by plain-text `_KID.ini` files.
It writes nothing to plugins and nothing to saves, and re-applies its keywords from scratch on each
launch, so a KID mod is trace-free to add or remove.

This skill **composes** a correct line from the bundled v3.5.0 grammar, **grounds** it against the
live load order so its reach is measured before the file ships, and **places** the file where KID
will read it. Every type, filter, trait and value comes from `references/`, never from memory — a
fabricated token fails silently.

## This skill's lane

KID's lane is **a keyword onto an item record**. A keyword onto an NPC is SPID: load
`spid-authoring` for that job instead.

## Which file answers which question

Read `references/grammar-core.md` first — it holds the five-section line, how KID finds and parses
the file, and what happens to a line it cannot read. When you need the exact type string, or whether
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add avick3110/housecarl/kid-authoring@sha256:e0035f728c805517

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261103.4c9b4ce, 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.
