Creates and improves agentskills.io skills to the Advanced Skill Library Standard. Use when you need to author a new SKILL.md, scaffold a skill directory, or raise an existing skill's conformance and description quality.
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
# askit-build-skill ## Purpose Author conformant skills. Two modes: `create` scaffolds a new skill that passes Bronze on first run; `improve` raises an existing skill toward the quality bar. Authoring depth is in [references/authoring-guide.md](references/authoring-guide.md). ## When to use When the user asks to create, scaffold, write, or improve a skill. ## create mode 1. Brief interview: ask for the skill name (kebab-case), what it does, when to use it, and a few trigger keywords. Skip the interview if these inputs are already provided in context. 2. Delegate the drafting to the `askit-skill-author` subagent (the declared chain) when running in a harness that can dispatch it; otherwise perform the steps below inline. Either way the procedure is the same: create `skills/<name>/` and copy `templates/SKILL.md` into `skills/<name>/SKILL.md`. 3. Fill the frontmatter: `name` equal to the directory, and a `description` that states what AND when with concrete keywords (see [references/authoring-guide.md](references/authoring-guide.md) for the bar). …

How to install
mdr add product-on-purpose/agent-skills-toolkit/askit-build-skill@sha256:b174ceb8f1aa31c2The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.3, 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.
