Use when creating, improving, comparing, evaluating, reviewing or packaging Agent Skills following the agentskills.io specification. Also use when deciding whether a skill is the right solution vs MCP servers, Claude Rules Files, or AGENTS.md. Handles SKILL.md authoring, frontmatter optimization, description writing, progressive disclosure, platform targeting, invocation control, vendor-specific extensions, and distribution.

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

# Creating Agent Skills

Author Agent Skills against the agentskills.io specification. A skill is a self-contained directory of instructions, scripts, and resources that turns a general-purpose agent into a specialist for one focused domain.

## Core Philosophy

**Context is shared.** Your skill's tokens compete with the system prompt, conversation history, other skills, and the user's request. Once SKILL.md loads it stays in context for the rest of the turn. Every line must earn its place.

**The agent is already smart.** Add only context it lacks. Cut explanations of well-known concepts (PDFs, for-loops, HTTP, JSON) and any sentence whose absence would not confuse a competent agent.

**Reason over command.** Prefer "Use pdfplumber because it handles multi-column layouts and rotated text better than alternatives" to "ALWAYS use pdfplumber". The reasoning becomes the rubric for cases the skill did not anticipate.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add sergeyklay/.agents/make-skill@sha256:eca5af088602ad74

The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.3, 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.
