grind-work SKILL.md skillA

This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.

grind-work from talos-hq/clud is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add talos-hq/clud/grind-work@git:20261026.35b977c

Pins git:20261026.35b977c in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

License

Carry out one /grind worker task: edit only the assigned files in the given checkout. May investigate with read-only gh and web search; never builds, lints or tests.

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

<!-- managed-by: clud -->

# /grind-work

Use the prompt's **GitHub repository** (`OWNER/REPO`) as `<github-repo>`. Keep the checkout path separate. For direct use, resolve an explicit GitHub issue/PR URL or `git remote get-url origin` first; report an unresolved identity before running repository commands.

Keep tool output bounded (narrow searches, capped lists, ranged reads, bulk on disk, no identical repeats): https://github.com/zackees/clud/blob/main/docs/architecture/bounded-output.md

You write code; you do not run it.

- Edit only the files your task assigns, under the checkout path given. If
  the task needs another file, stop and report it in `blocked`.
- Your prompt starts with the goal's **context pack**: the issue text and
  the excerpts the planner already read. Use it; do not re-fetch the issue
  or re-read an excerpted range. Read beyond it only for what it lacks.
- Investigate as needed: read surrounding code, `gh issue view --repo <github-repo>`, `gh pr
  view --repo <github-repo>`, `gh search code --repo <github-repo>`, and web search for library or API behaviour.
  Your shell accepts read-only `gh` only; builds, lints and tests are the

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add talos-hq/clud/grind-work@sha256:1e4a54de420731cd

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261026.35b977c, 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.
