learning-to-rule-or-skill from event4u-app/agent-config is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned

Use when a repeated learning, mistake, or successful pattern should be turned into a new rule or skill. Also use after completing a task to capture learnings from the work.

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

# learning-to-rule-or-skill

## When to use

Use this skill when:

* A repeated mistake appears across multiple tasks
* A successful pattern should be reused in the future
* A new constraint or workflow should be captured permanently
* Reviewing post-task learnings or retrospectives
* Deciding whether a learning belongs in a rule or a skill
* After completing a task — reflecting on what worked or caused friction
* Mining the audit log (`agents/runtime/state/audit/<YYYY-MM>.jsonl`,
  [`audit-log-v1`](../../../docs/contracts/audit-log-v1.md)) surfaced
  a repeated phase pattern via
  [`extract_audit_patterns.ts`](../../scripts/extract_audit_patterns.ts)
  — the pattern's `count` ≥ 2 already satisfies the repetition gate
* A comparative analysis handed over a **`### SEED —` block** from its
  `## Seeds` section ([`/analyze:reference`](../../agent-src/commands/analyze/reference.md)
  § 6). An accepted intake shape: the block carries name, kind, target
  template, one-line description and the `Extends instead?` answer, so step 4's
  overlap search starts from a stated candidate — it does **not** skip that
  search, and a seed missing its `Extends instead?` line is incomplete intake,

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add event4u-app/agent-config/learning-to-rule-or-skill@sha256:edc2af2fe6dc196f

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261029.d3d5d8d, 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.
