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.

# Mall Self-Curation

The Plugin Mall is self-curating. Day-to-day operations (inventory, scoring, catalog publishing, staleness pruning) run inside this repo's `.github/workflows/scan-sources.yml`. This skill is the operational playbook for that pipeline.

## When to Use

- Authoring or debugging anything under `scripts/scan-sources.cjs` / `normalize-frontmatter.cjs` / `compute-trust.cjs` / `list-refs.cjs` / `render-catalog.cjs`
- Weekly catalog-refresh PR (`catalog-refresh/YYYY-MM-DD`) is stuck or producing surprising deltas
- New source added to `sources/supported-stores.json` — verifying it flows through the pipeline
- New plugin shape encountered (frontmatter convention we haven't seen before)
- Importing or refreshing a first-party plugin with `npm run vendor`

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add fabioc-aloha/alex_skill_mall/mall-self-curation@sha256:5ff9dc4c6df3ac6c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260919.282978d, 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.
