pack-authoring SKILL.md skillA
pack-authoring from neuman/nopekit is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add neuman/nopekit/pack-authoring@git:20261026.29d4fddPins git:20261026.29d4fdd in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Build a new nopekit pack — a reusable validation capability for a physical domain (CFD, FEA, thermal, chemical, optics, machining, sourcing). Use when a claim has no gate and the extension protocol has been followed, when wrapping a solver or analysis tool as a gate, when extracting existing validation code into a shareable pack, or when someone wants to contribute a capability back to nopekit.
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
# Authoring an nopekit pack
A pack is how a validation capability stops being a one-off. You built a gate for
your project; a pack is that gate made reusable, self-testing and contributable.
Read `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/docs/PACK_FORMAT.md` for the contract. This skill is the *procedure*.
Where no host filled `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}` in (Codex), it is the directory two above
this file: the plugin's root.
## Before you start
**Have you followed `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/docs/EXTENSION_PROTOCOL.md`?** A pack is step 7 of that
protocol, not step 1. If you have not yet named the physical quantity precisely,
tried the analytic answer, chosen the tool deliberately and run a negative control,
you are packaging something you do not trust yet.
**Is this one domain?** A pack that settles both hull drag and battery runtime is two
packs. The test: can you write the manifest `description` in one line that a person
would recognise? If not, split.
## Procedure
### 1. Lay out the directory
No command creates a pack: it is an ordinary directory. Make the layout in
`${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/docs/PACK_FORMAT.md` — `pack.json`, `PACK.md`, `gates/`, `selftest/`, `references/` —
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add neuman/nopekit/pack-authoring@sha256:7c01c007a65ab1a9The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261026.29d4fdd, 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.
