Use when the user asks to create, add, or write a new bot skill, or wants to teach the bot a new behavior, capability, or workflow.

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

# Creating Skills

Writes high-performance, token-efficient skill directories in `skills/` and activates them immediately without restarting the bot.

## Process

### 1. Gather Requirements

Ask the user (one question at a time if unclear):
- **Name**: Slug — lowercase, numbers, hyphens only, e.g. `processing-reports`
- **Trigger**: When should this activate? (→ `description`, and optionally a short `trigger:` catalog line)
- **Behavior**: What should the agent do step-by-step?
- **Files**: Heavy reference content? Templates? Scripts?

### 2. Select Archetype

Pick the right pattern from [templates.md](templates.md):

| Archetype | When | SKILL.md budget |
|-----------|------|-----------------|
| `workflow` | Step-by-step procedures | < 150 lines |
| `reference-heavy` | Lookup tables, schemas, large specs | < 80 lines + reference.md |
| `tool-wrapper` | Wraps specific tools with usage guidance | < 100 lines |
| `persona` | Role-play or communication style shifts | < 60 lines |

### 3. Design the Structure

```
skills/<name>/
├── SKILL.md           # Always: main entry point (keep within archetype budget)
├── reference.md       # When: heavy content that would exceed budget
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add chinkan/rustfox/creating-skills@sha256:f7ba6837f1fff6a3

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261103.1e4adf7, 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.
