skill-authoring skillA

skill-authoring is agent-read markdown (skill) from stackhawk/agent-skills: Guides authoring and maintaining agent skills in this repository — enforcing Anthropic best practices, bumping versions, regenerating Cursor rules, and keeping the plugin structure consistent. Use when editing SKILL.md files, reference files, or plugin manifests; creating a new plugin; or reviewing a skill for compliance with authoring standards. Do NOT trigger for general coding tasks, security scanning, or platform API queries..

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.

How to install

Latest version
mdr add stackhawk/agent-skills/skill-authoring@v1.0.0
Exact content
mdr add stackhawk/agent-skills/skill-authoring@sha256:e07c9d968dc8c860

Pin 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.
