Use when creating new skills, editing existing skills, or verifying skills work before deployment.

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

# Writing Skills

_Adapted from the MIT-licensed superpowers plugin by Jesse Vincent. See NOTICE.md._

## Overview

**Writing a skill is Test-Driven Development applied to process documentation.** Watch an
agent fail without the skill (baseline), write the skill, then watch a fresh agent comply.
If you never watched the failure, you don't know whether the skill teaches the right thing —
or whether there was anything to teach at all.

A skill is a reusable technique, pattern, or reference — not a narrative about how you solved
something once. Don't create one for a one-off fix or a project-specific convention (put that
in the project's own instructions file instead).

## Start from the template

Copy `templates/SKILL.template.md` as the starting structure for a new skill. It carries the
required frontmatter shape and the section skeleton (When to use / Process / Red flags) —
fill it in rather than improvising frontmatter from scratch.

## Rules this plugin's test suite enforces

These are checked mechanically by `tests/skills.test.mjs` and `tests/skill-contracts.test.mjs`
on every skill under `skills/` — get them wrong and the suite fails, not just a reviewer:

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add andreymudri/fleetmates/writing-skills@sha256:2f2f1ae5e6500b00

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260916.b8baf3a, 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.
