build-s1a-agent SKILL.md skillA

build-s1a-agent from thinkflowlab/system1-agents is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned

Build a new System 1 agent (an openJiuwen agent with a System 1 decision model in its model slot) for a task the user names, in this repository. Runs a fit probe first, then scaffolds one agent module from the template of the right front (tool, browser or rail), its test and its README row, and verifies it model by model. Use when the user asks to build, add or scaffold a System 1 agent, an S1A agent, a Jev agent, a new game, task, site or rail for s1a.

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

# Build a System 1 agent

A System 1 agent is one module under `s1a/agents/` that ends in a frozen `SPEC`. The loop, the decision-model layer, the
rethink rail, the job folders and the CLI are shared and never change for a new agent. This skill produces the
module, its test and a README row, and stops at the first gate that fails.

Read `references/fit-rule.md` before the intake and `references/state-design.md` before the scaffold. The three
fronts and every spec field are in `references/fronts.md`.

## 1. Intake, one message

Ask for, or confirm from the request, these five facts. Stop until they are clear.

1. The task, in one sentence, and what a finished episode looks like.
2. Where the state comes from: an API or library, a page, a text environment, a callback in a running agent.
3. How the options are enumerated at each step: the library's legal moves, the page's controls, a fixed list.
4. The score: what counts, and whether a baseline exists (a rule, an expert plan, a published number).
5. Whether any step needs arithmetic, constraint deduction, search, or generated text. One yes is a stop.

## 2. Fit gate, before any code

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add thinkflowlab/system1-agents/build-s1a-agent@sha256:b92990851a3e5871

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261006.bcc6793, 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.
