Use when creating, modifying, reviewing, testing, or publishing a Rundesk skill, including reusable workflow scripts and external integrations. It supplies compact authoring, behavioral verification, and catalog publication. Do not use it to perform an existing skill's workflow or write one-off project automation.

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

# Writing skills

## Reuse the existing owner

Inspect existing skill catalogs before creating a package. For repository work, search the target
catalog and every relevant source catalog in the authorized workspace. For authorized live-library
work, use Rundesk's catalog and skill listings; do not open the live library to bypass the task's
access boundary. Read the descriptions of plausible matches, then their bodies and relevant
references before deciding.

Extend the existing owner when the requested capability shares its user intent, workflow, and
authority. Add a supporting script, reference, or test there instead of creating a second routing
surface. Create a new skill only when the capability needs distinct routing, judgment, authority, or
proof; record that distinction so a nearby name is not treated as justification by itself.

## Choose the artifact

- A skill is the **instruction boundary**: when to act, what judgment to apply, which procedure to
  follow, and how to prove the outcome.
- A workflow script is the **deterministic mechanism** for repeated local transformation,
  validation, or orchestration.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add rundesk-ai/rundesk-cli/writing-skills@sha256:e0df3af97e69037d

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260822.2f25532, 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.
