core-engineering skillA

core-engineering is agent-read markdown (skill) from d-padmanabhan/agent-engineering-handbook: Core coding standards and best practices for code review and generation. Provides KISS and measurable clean-code outcomes, guiding principles (DRY, YAGNI, SOLID), priority frameworks, tooling baselines, dependency management, and response formats. Use when reviewing code, generating code, asking about coding standards, or when the user needs general engineering guidance that applies across all languages..

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 d-padmanabhan/agent-engineering-handbook/core-engineering@git:20260830.f3ab767
Exact content
mdr add d-padmanabhan/agent-engineering-handbook/core-engineering@sha256:88c093dd66b8d783

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.
