Turn your agent skill into a varg how to listing: reads a skill folder or repo, checks it against the varg media skill standard, fills the one card format every listing on varg how to (varg.ai/how-to) uses — name, one-line summary, use-when triggers, category, install command, a real example of the output — shows it to the person and publishes it for review through the varg MCP publish_skill tool (or the API with a varg key). Use when someone says "publish my skill", "list this skill on varg…
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
# Publish a skill to varg how to varg how to (https://varg.ai/how-to) is where AI agents look for video, image and audio skills. Every listing has the same card, so agents can compare skills at a glance and search finds them by meaning. This skill turns any skill folder or repo into that card and sends it for review. The varg team approves most skills within a day; then the skill is searchable by agents (the varg MCP `search_skills`, `varg.ai/how-to/api/search`) and has a page at `varg.ai/how-to/skills/<slug>`. **Never publish without the person's OK on the exact card.** Never invent an install command, a feature or an example. ## 0.

Offer to help write one first. - **Where does it live?** The listing links a public https source (GitHub tree URL preferred). Local only → ask the person to push it first. - **How will you send it?** The varg MCP `publish_skill` tool if it is connected (best). Otherwise the API with …

How to install
mdr add varghq/skills/varg-publish-skill@sha256:41e9cde13b492ee6The 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.
