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

# Repository Guidance

This repository is a collection of Agent Skills for science and research. Every skill lives in its
own directory under `skills/` and must conform to the open
[Agent Skills specification](https://agentskills.io/specification).

Read this file before creating or changing a skill. `CONTRIBUTING.md` covers the same ground at
more length, plus the pull-request process.

## What belongs here

**In scope:** a narrow skill for one scientific package, database, platform, or research workflow —
`scanpy`, `depmap`, `benchling-integration`, `experimental-design`.

**Out of scope**, and routinely declined:

- General software-engineering or coding-judgment skills — they compete for selection on every task.
- General infrastructure with a scientific example bolted on (a vector database, a cloud SDK) —
  accepting one implies carrying every competitor.
- Broad "orchestrator" skills that route to other skills — they overlap every specialist by design.
- A second provider for a service an existing skill already reaches.

The general-purpose skills that do exist are narrow output-format helpers (`generate-image`,

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add k-dense-ai/scientific-agent-skills/AGENTS.md@sha256:d608ab4e9f30ea0f

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261001.f7a50ed, 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.
