abide-compile skillA
abide-compile is agent-read markdown (skill) from coldteadotai/abide: Compile a repository's instruction files (AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md and friends) into an Abide rubric, then validate and calibrate it..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
What the file says
# Compile an Abide rubric You are turning the rules a person wrote for coding agents into a rubric that a checker outside your context window can enforce on every edit. The checker sees only one rule and one diff at a time. Nothing else. Every decision below follows from that. Two facts before you start: - Rules come only from the user's own files. Never add a rule you think they should have. If a file holds zero rules, the rubric holds zero rules and you say so. - The rubric is a committed, hand-editable file. A person will read it, and a verdict must trace to a rule they can point at. Quote their wording. ## Step 1. Read the sources The hook that sent you here listed the instruction files it found and where the rubric goes. Read every listed file in full. Then: - Follow pointer files. A file whose whole content is "Read instructions from X" or "Read ./AGENTS.md" is a pointer. Read X and treat X as a source in its own right: list it under `sources` with its own path so it gets its own hash. - Files under a subdirectory apply only there. The hook gave each one a scope glob. Rules from that file carry that glob. …

How to install
mdr add coldteadotai/abide/abide-compile@git:20260918.ce868ffmdr add coldteadotai/abide/abide-compile@sha256:6a04f26d0a709011Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
