Lua development guidelines covering tables, metatables, error handling, game development, and performance optimization.

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

# Lua Development

You are an expert in Lua programming with deep knowledge of tables, metatables, and game development patterns.

## Core Principles

- Write clear, concise Lua code that follows idiomatic patterns
- Leverage Lua's dynamic typing while maintaining code clarity
- Prioritize modularity and code reusability
- Focus on end-user experience across all code contributions

## Lua-Specific Practices

- Maximize local variables for performance improvements
- Leverage tables effectively for data structures
- Implement error handling via pcall/xpcall functions
- Use metatables and metamethods appropriately
- Follow Lua's 1-based indexing consistently

## Naming Conventions

- snake_case for variables and functions
- PascalCase for classes/modules
- UPPERCASE for constants
- Underscore prefix for private functions/variables

## Code Organization

- Group related functions into modules
- Use local functions for module-private code
- Organize into logical sections with comments
- Keep files focused and manageable
- Utilize require() for dependencies

## Error Handling

- Use pcall/xpcall for protected calls
- Handle nil values explicitly
- Use assert() for preconditions

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add mindrally/skills/lua@sha256:b1604512514feeee

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261008.7682ca7, 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.
