Promote a local `.apache-magpie-overrides/<skill>.md` into a PR against `apache/magpie`. Once it merges and the adopter upgrades, the override is redundant and the skill offers to remove it.

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.

# setup-override-upstream

This skill turns a *local override* into a *framework feature*.
It takes one `.apache-magpie-overrides/<skill>.md` file in an adopter repo, helps the user decide whether the change is worth upstreaming, designs the framework-level abstraction, implements it in `apache/magpie`, and opens a PR.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add apache/magpie/override-upstream@sha256:b81de2c3e2ec1a91

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261018.9a8ec5f, 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.
