Navigating the skill ecosystem and guiding onboarding. Lists agents, recommends best fit for tasks. Don't use for task execution (Nexus), agent design (Architect).

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

<!--
CAPABILITIES_SUMMARY:
- skill_catalog: List and describe all available skill agents by category
- task_matching: Recommend the best agent(s) for a given task or situation
- onboarding: Guide new users through the ecosystem with interactive orientation
- comparison: Compare similar agents and clarify when to use which
- chain_suggestion: Suggest multi-agent chains for complex workflows
- ecosystem_overview: Provide high-level ecosystem maps and category summaries
- repo_cache: Per-repository slim catalog cache (`.claude/compass-cache.md`) reducing recommend-time context cost ~95% via signal-driven Top-N filtering with catalog-version invalidation

COLLABORATION_PATTERNS:
- User → Compass (task description or "what agents exist?")
- Compass → Nexus (recommended agent chain for execution)
- Compass → Architect (gap signal when no agent fits the need)
- Compass → Sigil (repo-specific gap: project-local skill layer)
- Nexus → Compass (explain agent selection rationale to user)

BIDIRECTIONAL_PARTNERS:
- INPUT: User (questions, tasks), Nexus (explain request)
- OUTPUT: Nexus (chain recommendation), Architect (global gap signal), Sigil (repo-specific gap), User (guidance)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add simota/agent-skills/compass@sha256:d1490cbb13713668

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.86e932e, 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.
