Scaffold and formally review a new Agent Skill in this marketplace repo. Covers valid SKILL.md generation, directory layout, registry entries, and spec auditing. Use when adding a skill, validating frontmatter, or checking marketplace readiness before a PR.
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
# Skill authoring lifecycle Add, review, and validate an installable skill package under `skills/` in the Skill Steward marketplace. Follow [work discipline](../../docs/core/work-discipline.mdx). The former `skill-eval-improve` and `skill-source-citations` skills were removed in 0.6.0; this skill absorbs them. Evals are the cheapest check you will rerun (`pnpm run validate`, then `pnpm run eval` when routing behavior changed). Do not grow cases the edit will not run. Cite sources in `references/sources.md`. Two failed edits of the same skill with no new evidence means rewrite, compress, or delete it. ## When to use - User wants a new skill in this repo - "Review this skill" or "Is this SKILL.md valid?" - Bootstrapping `SKILL.md` for `npx skills` compatibility - PR touches `skills/*/SKILL.md` ## Phase 1: Creation Workflow …

How to install
mdr add arenukvern/skill_steward/skill-authoring-lifecycle@sha256:aa067c8a57728051The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.0, 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.
