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
# Skill: aide-msvc-build-tools-setup # MSVC Build Tools Setup — The Packaging Blocker The Tauri 2 desktop build requires MSVC Build Tools (Visual C++ compiler + linker). This is the #1 blocker for Phase 8 packaging. This skill documents exactly how to install it and verify it works. ## Why MSVC - Tauri 2 sidecar compilation requires `link.exe` from MSVC - Rust MSVC toolchain (`stable-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc`) needs MSVC Build Tools - GNU toolchain needs MinGW binutils (dlltool.exe) — also not installed - MSVC is the standard path for Windows Rust development ## Installation (requires admin) ### Method 1: winget (preferred) ```powershell # Run in elevated PowerShell (Run as Administrator) winget install Microsoft.VisualStudio.2022.BuildTools --accept-source-agreements --accept-package-agreements ``` ### Method 2: Direct download 1.

How to install
mdr add anonymousnomad/aide-sovereign-workbench/aide-msvc-build-tools-setup@sha256:d72ae00c2e0b8762The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260908.e9ac98d, 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.
