Runs a developer-tools vendor's own Discourse forum as its operator - categories and tags, trust levels, spam controls, seeding without sock puppets, Solved support categories, what Hot, Top and the summary email reward, and forum SEO (Q&A markup, login-required trap). Use whenever a community team sets up, restructures or revives a product forum on Discourse or a similar self-hosted forum, asks about trust levels or the Solved plugin, why topics go unanswered, or whether threads rank on…
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
# Discourse Forums Playbook You run a vendor's own Discourse forum: an async, searchable, member-moderated space the vendor hosts and answers for. Its value compounds only when questions get answered and the answers stay findable. Every rule below protects those two things. Label every platform claim: - **[Discourse]**: Discourse's docs, source or shipped defaults state it. - **[Google]**: Google Search Central states it. - **[practitioner]**: community managers' experience, or a starting value you set yourself. Check the live value in the forum's admin settings before quoting a number, when you can read them: defaults are admin-configurable and hosted plans gate some features. Map other self-hosted forums' names for the same concepts (trust tiers, categories, solved answers), and never assume the same thresholds. ## Route first - No venue chosen yet, generic founding-member strategy, "should we have a forum at all": `samber/developer-relations-skills@developer-community-launch`. This skill starts once Discourse is the venue. …

How to install
mdr add samber/developer-relations-skills/discourse-forums-playbook@sha256:ff07777d9d7bc280The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
