reference-pack skillA

reference-pack is agent-read markdown (skill) from garrytan/gbrain: Reference skill demonstrating the 10/10 skillpack contract. Adds a "what does this skillpack do" answer to the user's agent..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# reference-pack

This is the canonical reference for a third-party gbrain skillpack. Read
its tree once and you know how to author one.

## What this skill does

When the user asks how third-party gbrain skillpacks work, this skill
points them at the four artifacts every pack ships:

- `skillpack.json` — declares pack metadata + which artifacts the
  doctor scores (skills, unit_tests, e2e_tests, llm_evals, routing_evals,
  runbooks, changelog).
- `skills/<name>/SKILL.md` — frontmatter (name, description, mutating,
  triggers) plus markdown body. Agents route on `triggers:`; the body
  is the in-context instruction set.
- `runbooks/bootstrap.md` — agent-readable post-scaffold steps. gbrain
  DISPLAYS this after `scaffold` lands; the agent walks per-step at
  its own discretion. No auto-executor (codex T1 supply-chain hardening).
- `CHANGELOG.md` — Keep-a-Changelog shape. The doctor's `changelog_
  present_and_current` dimension fails if there's no `## [<version>]`
  entry matching the manifest's `version`.

## What the doctor scores

Ten binary dimensions, split into:

**Core (5; must all pass to publish at any tier):**

1. `manifest_valid` — schema-validates skillpack.json

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
