Manage agent-skill lifecycles across local, global, project, Skill Hub, skills.sh, GitHub, plugin-cache, and system roots. Use when searching, recommending, installing, updating, upgrading, syncing, merging, auditing, deduplicating, cleaning, packaging, publishing, or validating skills; choosing project versus global scope; verifying upstream source, stars, or installs; or working with skill-upgrade, check_upstreams.ps1, sync-pull/push, junctions, skills-lock.json, or skill-upstreams.json.

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

# Skill Lifecycle Manager

Orchestrate skill work as one evidence-backed lifecycle. Keep source,
installation, and ownership separate so an update to one copy does not silently
overwrite another.

## Core Contract

Maintain three boundaries throughout the task:

- **Source**: where the skill came from, such as GitHub, skills.sh, a Skill Hub
  checkout, or a local repository.
- **Install**: where a runtime loads the active skill, such as a global user
  root or project root.
- **Ownership**: whether the path is user-maintained, project-maintained, or
  system/plugin-managed.

Do not treat a Skill Hub checkout, `_repos` source, plugin cache, and global
install as interchangeable even when their skill names match.

When evidence is incomplete, report known facts, candidate hypotheses,
verification paths, and temporary mitigation. Do not present an unverified
hypothesis as a cause or completed fix.

## Start With Lifecycle Triage

Create a compact internal task card before acting:

- **Intent**: discover, recommend, install, update, sync, merge, audit, cleanup,
  package, publish, validate, or create/edit.
