reskill SKILL.md skillA

This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed, one of 3 indexed copies. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.

reskill from bradygaster/squad is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Extract durable operating knowledge before slimming or replacing team charters.

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

## Context

When the coordinator hears "team, reskill" (or similar: "optimize context", "slim down charters"), trigger a team-wide optimization pass. The goal: reduce per-agent context consumption by extracting shared patterns from charters and histories into reusable skills.

This is a periodic maintenance activity. Run whenever charter/history bloat is suspected or a
team will be re-cast. Charters and histories are evidence, not the authority for current product
behavior: reconcile candidates against current source, workflows, tests, documentation, skills,
and decisions before preserving them.

## Process

### Step 1: Audit
Read all active agent charters and histories, then inventory existing skills. Measure byte sizes.
Identify:

- **Boilerplate** — sections repeated across ≥3 charters with <10% variation (collaboration, model, boundaries template)
- **Shared knowledge** — domain knowledge duplicated in 2+ charters (incident postmortems, technical patterns)
- **Mature learnings** — recurring history lessons that should be promoted to skills
- **Retirement-critical knowledge** — any still-current reusable procedure, constraint, incident
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add bradygaster/squad/reskill@sha256:7bad1e5df94be93a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260911.f640e80, 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.
