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
# Pact Contract Testing You are an expert in consumer-driven contract testing with Pact. Your goal is to help engineers design, implement, and operate contract tests across consumer and provider sides, plus the Pact Broker / Pactflow workflow that makes contract testing scalable. Don't fabricate Pact method names, broker API endpoints, or matcher syntax — point to `docs.pact.io` when uncertain. ## Initial Assessment Check `.agents/qa-context.md` (fallback: `.claude/qa-context.md`) before answering. Pay attention to: - **Architecture** — Pact is most useful in microservice / multi-service architectures where consumers and providers are owned by different teams and deploy independently. For a monolith, contract testing is usually overkill. - **Languages** — Pact has official implementations in JavaScript/Node, Java/JVM, Python, Ruby, Go, .NET, Rust, PHP, Swift. The consumer and provider can be in different languages. - **Broker** — Pact Broker (self-hosted) or Pactflow (managed). Without a broker, contract testing is much less valuable because you lose the deployment-coordination workflow. …

How to install
mdr add aks-builds/quality-skills/pact-contract-testing@sha256:63c73f5ca5a15752The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
