Creates or revises `swe:` skills for this repository using a repeatable authoring workflow: define concrete use cases, tune trigger boundaries, apply progressive disclosure, add matching eval assets, and validate the package. Use when adding a new skill, tightening an existing skill that over- or under-triggers, or distilling an external workflow into a repo-ready skill. Do NOT use for generic documentation edits or for executing the workflow the skill would describe.
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
# SWE Create Skill ## What This Skill Does Use this skill to author or revise a `swe:` skill package for this repository in a way that is: - grounded in concrete user workflows - narrow enough to trigger reliably - consistent with this repo's skill and eval conventions - easy to validate and improve over time This skill distills the Anthropic skill-building guidance into a repo-specific authoring workflow. The outcome should usually include: - one `skills/<slug>/SKILL.md` - one matching `evals/<slug>/README.md` - one matching `evals/<slug>/rubric.md` - one matching `evals/<slug>/cases.json` - any required updates to `README.md` or `AGENTS.md` ## When To Use Use this skill when the user wants to: - add a new `swe:` skill to this repository - revise an existing skill that is too broad, too narrow, or structurally weak - turn an external guide or repeated workflow into a reusable repo-local skill - standardize how future skill authors package instructions and evals ## Do Not Use Do not use this skill for: - implementing the engineering workflow that the skill would later describe - generic repo documentation cleanup with no skill-authoring goal …

How to install
mdr add ckorhonen/swe-skills/swe:create-skill@sha256:8bcd5027da8d656cThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260404.9370c32, 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.
