Use when starting any conversation - establishes how to find and use skillet skills, requiring skill invocation before ANY response including clarifying questions.
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
<SUBAGENT-STOP> If you were dispatched as a subagent to execute a specific task, skip this skill and do the task. </SUBAGENT-STOP> <EXTREMELY-IMPORTANT> If you think there is even a 1% chance a skill might apply to what you are doing, you MUST invoke the skill.

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.
