cli-design skillA
cli-design is agent-read markdown (skill) from notque/vexjoy-agent: Design a CLI interface: args, flags, help, output, errors, exit codes, config..
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.

Proceed only when gate passes. ### Phase 2: DESIGN …

mdr add notque/vexjoy-agent/cli-design@git:20260919.28d30f9mdr add notque/vexjoy-agent/cli-design@sha256:2b6f7a97e1ed0410Pin 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.
