gather-lore SKILL.md skillA
gather-lore from justinjdev/fellowship is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add justinjdev/fellowship/gather-lore@git:20260905.379d5f3Pins git:20260905.379d5f3 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Invoke only when the user runs /gather-lore. Quest inlines this pattern extraction as its Research step 4 and does not call it. Studies the reference files CLAUDE.md documents to extract conventions before code is written, preventing wrong-approach review rework.
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
# Gather Lore — Study Patterns Before Writing Code ## Overview Studies existing code to extract the specific patterns and conventions in play. Run this during research — before planning or writing anything — in areas where conventions matter. The patterns you extract here flow into the plan and constrain implementation downstream. Code generation and deviation checking happen later: implementation applies these patterns (quest's Implement phase, via TDD) and warden verifies compliance (quest's Review phase). ## When to Use - The user runs `/gather-lore` — entering an unfamiliar part of the codebase, working where PRs have been rejected for "wrong approach", or touching patterns you're unsure about (DI, error handling, data access) This skill is **not** a step of the quest lifecycle. Quest inlines the same extraction as its Research step 4 rather than invoking it. ## Process ### Step 1: Find Reference Files Check CLAUDE.md for a `## Reference Files` section. If it exists, read the files listed for the relevant area. If no reference files are documented, ask the user: …

How to install
mdr add justinjdev/fellowship/gather-lore@sha256:a63c897cd465b1b1The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260905.379d5f3, 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.
