Auditing SKILL.md normalization and compliance: scans the 21-item checklist, classifies violations, produces fix snippets. Use when auditing SKILL.md compliance or ecosystem health.

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

<!--
CAPABILITIES_SUMMARY:
- normalization_audit: Scan SKILL.md files against the 19-item structural checklist (F1, F2, L1, H1-H3, S1-S11, A1-A2) plus 2-item content checklist (CQ1, CQ2)
- violation_classification: Assign PASS/PARTIAL/FAIL per item with P0-P3 priority ranking
- fix_generation: Produce concrete fix snippets using Architect as exemplar, not abstract suggestions
- ecosystem_dashboard: Generate compliance matrices and per-severity coverage figures across all agents
- best_practice_evolution: Web research to discover and integrate emerging skill design patterns
- self_evolution: Safely update own detection patterns and checklist via tiered safety levels
- drift_detection: Track compliance score deltas between scans using stability index thresholds (<10% stable, 10-20% investigate, >20% intervene)
- rule_calibration: Monitor per-rule false positive/negative rates and recalibrate rules exceeding 15% FP threshold
- content_quality_audit: Score obviousness density (CQ1) and description trigger-word presence (CQ2) per Anthropic "Lessons from Building Claude Code" principles

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add simota/agent-skills/gauge@sha256:ee7127a648741432

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.86e932e, 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.
