schema-author SKILL.md skillA

This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.

schema-author from itechmeat/open-second-brain is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add itechmeat/open-second-brain/schema-author@git:20260803.0ae4b09

Pins git:20260803.0ae4b09 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use when adding, renaming, reviewing, or explaining Brain schema tokens, aliases, prefixes, link types, extractability, or expert routing in Open Second Brain vaults.

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

# Schema Author

Use this skill when a task changes the active Brain schema pack in `Brain/_brain.yaml` or reviews content against that schema.

## Workflow

1. Inspect the active schema pack with `schema_inspect` (`view="active_pack"`) or `o2b brain schema --json`.
2. Check current usage and findings with `schema_inspect` views `stats`, `lint`, and `orphans`.
3. Explain candidate tokens with `schema_inspect` (`view="explain_type"`) before renaming or deleting them.
4. Preview the batch first with `schema_apply_mutations` (`dry_run=true`) or `o2b brain schema apply --dry-run --mutation ...`: it returns the pack that would result and its diff and writes nothing at all - no config write, no audit record, no lock file. It runs the same pack validator the apply runs, so a batch that validator rejects raises identically in both. It does not run the two checks that exist only because the apply writes: the vault-identity write guard, and the atomic writer's re-parse of the rendered YAML. A batch that renders to unparseable YAML previews clean and fails on apply, so treat a clean preview as "the mutations are valid", not as "the apply will succeed".

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add itechmeat/open-second-brain/schema-author@sha256:2c37178a64e9dd9e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260803.0ae4b09, 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.
