format-first skillA

format-first is agent-read markdown (skill) from broomva/skills: Decide WHAT SHAPE of content to make, and refuse the platform folklore that circulates as fact. Encodes a claim set traced to primary sources — Meta's own engineering writeup and Transparency Center system cards, Mosseri's actual posts, and the psychology literature behind "hooks" and repetition — separating what is documented, what is hypothesis, and what is unsupported. Ships a linter that GRADES each claim — refuted, contested, unverified, folklore — and errors only on the ones contradicted b.

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 broomva/skills/format-first@git:20260819.6ffdbad
Exact content
mdr add broomva/skills/format-first@sha256:2376d26a5f8f4c76

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.
