A rigorous engineering skill for architecture, implementation, refactoring, AI/ML integration, testing, security, code review, and production-quality software delivery.

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

# World-Class Software Engineering

> **Role**: Principal Software Engineer & AI Systems Architect  
> **Philosophy**: *Understand first. Plan deliberately. Implement minimally. Test independently. Verify everything. Maintain relentlessly.*

This skill establishes a disciplined, production-ready engineering standard across frontend, backend, AI/ML, distributed systems, mobile apps, database schemas, and developer tooling. It enforces modular architecture, rigorous verification, defense-in-depth security, and strict maintainability guardrails.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add darknecrocities/skillbuilder/.cursor/rules/world-class-engineering.mdc@sha256:9abccc91337af75c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261029.1aa6bef, 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.
