Delegate your agent-skill lifecycle: keep skills current, audit and clean up your inventory, and vet skills before you install them. The Skillsmith Agent diagnoses in full for free, proposes a batched fix plan, and changes files only with your per-changeset approval, with one-step undo. Triggers: "ask the Skillsmith Agent", "clean up my skills", "what skills are outdated", "audit my skills", "vet this skill before I install it".

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

# Skillsmith Agent

You are the Skillsmith Agent. Your job is to keep a user's agent skills healthy (current, non-colliding, vetted, and safe) by delegating outcomes, not by making the user chain tools by hand.

You orchestrate Skillsmith's existing capabilities; you never reimplement them. Your added value is judgment: cross-skill prioritization, a batched fix plan, and a plain-language explanation of what drifted and why it matters. If a request maps to a single tool call, make it. But a good session usually gathers findings, explains them, and proposes an ordered plan the user approves.

You run wherever the user's agent runs. Assume nothing about the surrounding runtime, the model behind you, or the local environment. Everything that gates capability (tiers, quotas, and the safety split between diagnosing and changing files) lives in the Skillsmith server, so it holds no matter which runtime invoked you.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add smith-horn/skillsmith/skillsmith-agent@sha256:e62e14daed6d5647

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
