skills-composition skillA

skills-composition is agent-read markdown (skill) from d-padmanabhan/agent-engineering-handbook: Patterns for composing multiple Cursor / Agent Skills into orchestrated workflows. Covers slash commands that chain skills, project-vs-personal scope resolution, sibling-skill auto-detection with graceful degradation, sequential vs parallel chaining, HITL gates between phases, parameter passing, and error handling. Use when designing a multi-step workflow that spans skills, building a slash command that delegates to several skills, or deciding when to add a new skill vs extend an existing one..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

How to install

Latest version
mdr add d-padmanabhan/agent-engineering-handbook/skills-composition@git:20260510.f4bea3d
Exact content
mdr add d-padmanabhan/agent-engineering-handbook/skills-composition@sha256:437abbd0010dd9cd

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
