skill-authoring skillA

skill-authoring is agent-read markdown (skill) from microsoft/github-copilot-for-azure: Guidelines for writing Agent Skills that comply with the agentskills.io specification. WHEN: "create a skill", "new skill", "write a skill", "skill template", "skill structure", "review skill", "skill PR", "skill compliance", "SKILL.md format", "skill frontmatter", "skill best practices"..

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.

How to install

Latest version
mdr add microsoft/github-copilot-for-azure/skill-authoring@v1.0.1
Exact content
mdr add microsoft/github-copilot-for-azure/skill-authoring@sha256:e0fdfb1d7572400d

Pin 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.
