Use when creating a new skill, improving an existing skill, or deciding what a skill should contain and how it should be structured.
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
# Skill Creation ## What is a skill? Injected procedural knowledge -- the "how" for agents. The agent brings identity and domain knowledge. The skill brings process and protocol. They never duplicate each other. ## Step 1: Choose the type Type determines structure. Choose before writing anything. | Type | Purpose | When it applies | |------|---------|-----------------| | **Discipline** | Enforces rules the agent will rationalize around under pressure | command-execution, execution | | **Technique** | How to think about or approach a class of problem | investigation, approval | | **Reference** | Lookup tables, classifications, format specifications | security-tiers, fast-queries, git-conventions | | **Domain** | Project-specific patterns for a technical area | gaia-patterns | | **Protocol** | System operating contract -- state machines, mandatory formats | agent-protocol | ## Step 1.5: Situate the skill in its flow With the type chosen, place the skill before you structure it: where it lives in a flow, and what it can affect. Treat these as one gate with two coupled facets -- position is what sets blast radius. …

How to install
mdr add metraton/gaia/skill-creation@sha256:8c71f57a8d3220bdThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260915.e888e07, 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.
