A template for creating new modular and scalable agent skills.
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
# Template Skill
This is a blueprint for creating new skills. Follow this folder structure and the guidelines in `STRUCTURE.md`.
## Folder Layout
- `SKILL.md`: Metadata and high-level instructions.
- `scripts/`: Implementation logic (Python/Node).
- `resources/`: Prompts, reference documents, or static data.
- `examples/`: Sample usage for the agent to learn from.
- `tests/`: Basic verification to ensure the skill works.
## Guidelines
1. **Self-Documentation**: Always keep `SKILL.md` updated with the latest capabilities.
2. **Utilities**: Import from `../common/` for logging and environment management.
3. **Artifacts**: Store temporary outputs in `artifacts/` (don't commit these).
## Usage Example
Refer to `examples/basic_usage.md` for a demonstration.
The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260502.38d5305, 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.
