Authors and interprets SkyPatcher INI patches — runtime, no-ESP edits that filter Bethesda records and set, add or remove those records' own fields (SkyPatcher 8.0.1 grammar). Load before any SkyPatcher line — the `Plugin.esp|FormID` addressing, the per-type subfolder and the filename gate are non-obvious, and a wrong token fails silently. Use when writing or auditing a SkyPatcher `.ini`, rebalancing weapons, armor, NPCs or leveled lists without an ESP, putting items into a container or chest…
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
# SkyPatcher Authoring SkyPatcher is an SKSE plugin that edits Bethesda records at runtime from plain-text INI files — no ESP or ESL is produced for the edit itself. This skill composes and reads those patch strings and places the file where SkyPatcher will read it. SkyPatcher edits a record's own fields, an individual NPC's included; it does not distribute. Two neighbouring jobs are someone else's: what fields a record has at the Mutagen/xEdit level, with their types and writability, is `mutagen-reference`; distributing a form to NPCs is `spid-authoring`, which is *best* for groups — faction, race, level, trait — and can also name one NPC, though for a single NPC SkyPatcher is usually the *better* fit; a keyword onto item records is `kid-authoring`. ## Route to the record type Find the record type in the table, then read `references/<file>.md` — that type's own filters, operations and worked examples. Filter and operation availability varies per type, so the record file is authoritative; do not carry one across from another type. Read one record file, not the set. | Record type (xEdit sig) | Subfolder | Primary filter | Reference file | |---|---|---|---| …

How to install
mdr add avick3110/housecarl/skypatcher-authoring@sha256:f3fde9fcd488eb82The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261104.233c578, 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.
