skill-crafting SKILL.md skillA

skill-crafting from sentimony/skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add sentimony/skills/skill-crafting@v0.0.10

Pins v0.0.10 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

You MUST use this when deciding whether a recurring workflow needs a reusable agent skill, or when designing, creating, evaluating, improving, splitting, merging, or retiring skills. Covers trigger boundaries, architecture, behavior contracts, and effectiveness evaluation. Not for repository agent instruction maintenance (maintaining-agent-context), settled implementation planning (plan-crafting), or code behavior fixes (tdd).

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

# Skill Crafting

Use this skill to turn a reusable agent capability into a small, testable, maintainable
skill package. It owns craft decisions and evaluation methodology. It can guide a new skill,
an improvement to an existing skill, or a decision to extend, split, merge, simplify, retire,
or replace a skill with a native capability.

## Responsibility boundary

This skill decides:

- whether a reusable skill is the right solution;
- the capability, trigger boundary, output contract, and supporting architecture;
- the skill category, observed failure, risk, and verification tier;
- how to interpret baseline, candidate, trigger, cost, variance, and qualitative evidence.

Route adjacent work to its owner:

- `plan-crafting` produces an implementation plan after requirements are settled;
- `tdd` owns test-first development for code behavior inside a skill task;
- `maintaining-agent-context` audits existing AGENTS, CLAUDE, and SKILL.md instruction files;
- `review-request` obtains independent review of an implementation diff;
- `verification-gate` gives the final evidence-backed completion verdict;
- `branch-finish` decides integration, preservation, and workspace cleanup.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add sentimony/skills/skill-crafting@sha256:ddd77c4bd5ea380e

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.0.10, 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.
