ai-engineering from swyxio/skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add swyxio/skills/ai-engineering@git:20261004.275e470Pins git:20261004.275e470 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Diagnose or improve reliability of a structured, multi-request, rate-limited, or cost-sensitive AI workflow. Use for malformed or truncated outputs, retry/rate-limit failures, unreliable fan-out, cache/resume bugs, or missing run telemetry. Do not use for ordinary prompt edits or simple one-shot model calls.
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
# AI Engineering Use enough structure to make a model workflow explainable and recoverable without turning every prototype into an operations project. This skill owns request validation, retry/cache behavior, rate-aware fan-out, and measurement. Pair it with `live-ai-pipelines` only when a run needs live progress or durable resume. For provider-specific API behavior, read [provider operation notes](references/provider-operation-notes.md) when the adapter is OpenAI, Anthropic, or OpenRouter, then verify volatile details in current provider docs. For image/video generation or FAL model fan-outs, read [image, video, and FAL operation notes](references/image-video-fal.md). ## Useful defaults - Improve the established workflow before introducing another path. Do not turn implementation choices or temporary exceptions into user requirements. - Do not publish a malformed, partial, or schema-invalid result as complete. - For a machine-consumed structured artifact, use the selected model provider's documented native structured-output API with an explicit schema. Do **not** treat a free-form completion prompted with “return JSON” plus local `JSON.parse` as structured output. …

How to install
mdr add swyxio/skills/ai-engineering@sha256:10cb37ba93a35e97The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261004.275e470, 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.
