Authors and interprets SPID (Spell Perk Item Distributor) `_DISTR.ini` files — runtime, no-ESP distribution of spells, perks, items, keywords, outfits and factions to NPCs, on the bundled SPID 7.3.0 grammar. Load it before composing or judging any SPID line: a misread filter silently changes who is targeted, and an unparseable one is skipped with no error. Use when writing or auditing a `_DISTR.ini`, targeting NPCs by faction, race, level or trait, or asking why a line isn't distributing…

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

# SPID Authoring

## Overview

SPID (Spell Perk Item Distributor, by powerofthree) is an SKSE plugin that distributes forms —
spells, perks, items, shouts, keywords, outfits, factions, AI packages — **to NPCs at runtime**,
driven by plain-text `_DISTR.ini` files. It writes nothing to plugins or saves and redistributes
from scratch each launch, so a SPID mod is trace-free to add or remove. This skill composes and
reads SPID lines, taking every form type, filter, modifier and value from `references/` — look a
token up, never invent one, because a wrong token fails silently.

**Scope.** SPID's target is NPCs. It is *best* for groups — faction, race, level, trait — and it can
also name one NPC by EditorID or FormID (`references/filters.md` §1 and §2), so a single-NPC
distribution is a real SPID line, not a refusal. For one NPC, `skypatcher-authoring` is
usually the *better* fit, and a record's *own fields* are its job outright; a keyword onto *item
records* is `kid-authoring`.

## First step — open the grammar reference

The grammar is uniform — one line shape across all 10 form types — so open only what your task
touches:

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add avick3110/housecarl/spid-authoring@sha256:76cf017db29644b6

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261103.a61e12e, 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.
