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
# Interactive Fiction ## Overview Plan, draft, and revise a branching book: a story project whose chapters are passages joined by `choices` in their frontmatter. The chapters and their choices are the source of truth. `story continuity` follows the paths of choices, and `story build --format twee` or `--format ink` turns the project into a playable Twine or ink story. This skill owns books written to branch from the start. Turning an existing linear book into an interactive edition (a branch map drawn from its scenes, then a copied project) belongs to the `adaptation` skill; once that edition project exists, draft and revise its chapters here. ## Prerequisites A story project with `story.md` in the root. For a new book, start it with the `story-init` skill first. Read `story.md` (`language`, `pov`, `tense`, `form`, `status`, `ifid`) and `chapters/_index.md`, then the `choices` of every chapter: together they are the graph. A small example is [`examples/the-gull-rock-light`](../../examples/the-gull-rock-light/), a branch-and-bottleneck story with two endings. ## When to Use - Planning a choice graph: structure, branch points, rejoins, endings …

How to install
mdr add danjdewhurst/story-skills/interactive-fiction@sha256:0b9d62495c0501efThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.4b8019d, 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.
