Generate or update an Agent Skill from the observed workflows, boundaries, and conventions of one software project.

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

# Generate a project Skill

Create a compact, searchable Skill from the project itself.
This Skill is for maintainers who author a draft Skill they own.

## Inputs

Use the project directory or prepared project source.
Ask for the destination only when the request does not provide one.

## Inspect

1. Read project instructions and decision records first.
2. Read manifests, exported entry points, and build configuration.
3. Find the test, lint, typecheck, build, and release commands.
4. Trace the main public workflows through their real entry points.
5. Note generated directories and files an Agent must not edit.
6. Check recent changes when they explain current conventions.

## Project navigation

The Skill must let an Agent find any part of the project without a prior index.

1. Name the project from its manifest. Use the directory name when no manifest names it.
2. List the entry points the manifest declares, such as `main`, `module`, `types`, `exports`, and `bin`.
3. List the source and documentation directories an Agent reads most.
4. Use project-relative paths for every file pointer.
5. Never add a generated directory prefix to a project-relative path.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add skilld-dev/skilld/generate-project-skill@sha256:c1c69c264c15e178

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261010.a246e3a, 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.
