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
# Testing the designing-clis Skill
## Purpose
This skill teaches CLI UX design principles, visual techniques, and practical patterns for creating discoverable, delightful command-line interfaces.
## Testing Approach
### Test Scenarios
The skill has been tested with three pressure scenarios in TDD RED-GREEN-REFACTOR style:
1. **Time Pressure** - Build health check CLI in 15 minutes (production down)
2. **Existing Codebase** - Add feature to CLI with poor UX patterns
3. **Fix Confusing CLI** - Troubleshoot and improve "hard to use" CLI
### Test Files Location
All test files should be created in `.scratch/` directory to avoid cluttering the repository:
```
.scratch/
designing-clis-tests/
baseline-scenario-1.md # RED phase results
baseline-scenario-2.md
baseline-scenario-3.md
green-scenario-1.md # GREEN phase results with skill
test-healthcheck.py # Generated test CLI
test-teamctl.py # Generated test CLI
test-deployer.py # Generated test CLI
```
### Running Tests
**RED Phase (Baseline without skill):**
```
Task: Build/fix CLI without using designing-clis skill

How to install
mdr add technicalpickles/pickled-claude-plugins/plugins/dev-tools/skills/designing-clis/CLAUDE.md@sha256:f6821ca8b006bd55The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20251125.43bbfd3, 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.
