skill-forge SKILL.md skillA

skill-forge from techygarg/lattice is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add techygarg/lattice/skill-forge@git:20261009.a96f344

Create a new Lattice skill — atom, molecule, or refiner — following all framework conventions. Writing skill files manually almost always produces convention violations: wrong section order, missing confirmation gates, defaults.md without the right structure. This skill knows all of that and guides you through it. Use whenever adding any new atom, molecule, or refiner to Lattice, or when the user says 'create a new skill', 'add an atom', 'add a molecule', 'add a refiner', 'build X for…

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

# Lattice Skill Forge

**Core responsibility:** Create the right files with the right structure for a new Lattice skill.

**Input:** A description of what the skill should do and when it should trigger.

**Output:** One or more skill files written to the correct path:
- Atom → `source/atoms/{name}/SKILL.md` + `source/atoms/{name}/references/defaults.md`
- Molecule → `source/molecules/{name}/SKILL.md`
- Refiner → `source/refiners/{name}/SKILL.md` + `source/refiners/{name}/assets/template.md`

**How to verify this skill did its job:**
- All required files exist at the correct paths
- Folder name matches `name:` frontmatter exactly
- All tier-required sections are present in correct order
- No placeholder content — all sections contain real, specific content

---

## Step 1: Understand intent and select tier

Ask the user: *"What should this skill do, and when should it trigger? Describe it briefly."*

From the description, determine the tier:

| The skill... | Tier |
|---|---|
| Enforces ONE principle with a checklist and anti-pattern scan | **Atom** |
| Orchestrates multiple atoms into a multi-step workflow | **Molecule** |
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add techygarg/lattice/skill-forge@sha256:ad17930b86c8725c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261009.a96f344, 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.
