check-upstream SKILL.md skillA

check-upstream from pdugan20/claudelint is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add pdugan20/claudelint/check-upstream@git:20260913.c2fd2b9

Pins git:20260913.c2fd2b9 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Refreshes the Claude Code docs baseline, runs the conformance check, and recommends schema and rule updates. Use when asked to "check for upstream changes", "check schema drift", "are our schemas up to date", or "what is new in Claude Code".

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

# Check Upstream

Detects new Claude Code documentation surface and drift between the official docs
and claudelint's schemas, then recommends concrete updates.

The deterministic half of this system runs in CI. This skill adds the judgment the
scripts deliberately do not attempt: reading the prose diff and deciding what it
means for claudelint.

## Usage

Run this skill when asked to check for upstream changes, verify schemas are up to
date, or find out what changed in Claude Code's documentation.

### Step 1: Refresh the baseline

Run `npm run upstream:refresh`.

Watch for two things in the output:

- `[NEW PAGE] <slug> (NOT WATCHED ...)` - a docs page appeared that claudelint does
  not watch. This is how a whole feature (such as plugin dependencies) arrives. Read
  the page and decide whether it belongs in `src/upstream/watchlist.ts`.
- `Extractor guard tripped` - the extractor stopped finding facts on a page. Upstream
  changed format. Fix the extractor in
  [scripts/upstream/extract.ts](../../../scripts/upstream/extract.ts). Do NOT lower
  `minFacts` to make it pass; that disables the detector.

### Step 2: Read the prose diff

Run `git diff -- docs-baseline/`.
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add pdugan20/claudelint/check-upstream@sha256:d2c3d858431d007a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260913.c2fd2b9, 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.
