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

# Gentle AI™ — Agent Skills Index

When working on this project, load the relevant skill(s) BEFORE writing any code.

Naming convention: `gentle-ai-*` skills are repo-specific workflow skills. Unprefixed skills are portable writing or work-unit skills and intentionally keep their canonical names.

## How to Use

1. Check the trigger column to find skills that match your current task
2. Load the skill by reading the SKILL.md file at the listed path
3. Follow ALL patterns and rules from the loaded skill
4. Multiple skills can apply simultaneously

## Skills

| Skill | Trigger | Path |
|-------|---------|------|
| `issue-creation` | When creating a GitHub issue, reporting a bug, or requesting a feature. | [`internal/assets/skills/issue-creation/SKILL.md`](internal/assets/skills/issue-creation/SKILL.md) |
| `gentle-ai-branch-pr` | When creating a pull request, opening a PR, or preparing changes for review. | [`skills/branch-pr/SKILL.md`](skills/branch-pr/SKILL.md) |
| `gentle-ai-chained-pr` | When a change is too large for one review, or when creating chained/stacked pull requests. | [`skills/chained-pr/SKILL.md`](skills/chained-pr/SKILL.md) |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add gentleman-programming/gentle-ai/AGENTS.md@sha256:9af0d3fe5db3745a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260902.7d1c58f, 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.
