Routes to topic-specific best practices skills instead of loading them all. Use for Claude Code help, tips, or a how to question whose topic is not yet obvious.

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

# Best Practices Dispatcher

This skill routes questions to topic-specific skills for context efficiency.
Instead of loading 25K+ tokens, load only the relevant topic (~3K tokens).

## Available Topic Skills

| Topic | Skill | Triggers |
|-------|-------|----------|
| **Context & Tokens** | `context-efficiency` | context, tokens, optimization, progressive disclosure |
| **Session Management** | `session-management` | session, reset, plan mode, context degradation |
| **MCP Optimization** | `mcp-optimization` | MCP, token consumption, code-mode |
| **Hooks** | `hooks-automation` | hooks, automation, SessionStart |
| **Spec-Driven Dev** | `spec-driven-dev` | spec driven, specification, SDD, planning |
| **Issue-Driven Dev** | `idd-workflow` | issue driven, worktree, IDD |
| **CLAUDE.md** | `claude-md-config` | CLAUDE.md, configuration, project setup |
| **Code Quality** | `code-quality` | code review, quality, testing, production |
| **Python Packaging** | `python-packaging` | pyproject.toml, PEP 621, PEP 723, setup.py, requirements.txt |
| **CI/CD & Verification** | `cicd-verification` | CI/CD, pipeline, health check, smoke test, Makefile, verification |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add cooneycw/claude-power-pack/best-practices@sha256:4615e49648242b40

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260920.677b300, 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.
