Build the mandatory "shell" every Singapore government public-facing digital service needs before feature work: the Official Government Banner (masthead), WOGAA registration and tracking, the official footer, .gov.sg domain, SGDS setup, and the rest of the DSS Trust & Legitimacy, Baseline Design, and Performance & Reliability controls (22 controls, 3 of them Level 0 mandatory). Use when scaffolding a new SG government website, web service, or mobile app; reviewing an existing agency service…

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

# SG government service shell (DSS: TL + BD + PR)

Every public-facing digital service delivered for a Singapore government agency must
implement a common "shell" before feature work: proof of legitimacy (users
must be able to tell it is really the government), baseline design practices, and
performance/reliability basics. These are codified as 22 controls in three families of
the **Digital Service Standards (DSS)** under the ICT&SS Policy Reform (successor to
IM8): **TL** (Trust & Legitimacy, 6), **BD** (Baseline Design Practices, 9), **PR**
(Performance & Reliability, 7).

Three of these are **Level 0** (mandatory, no deviation permitted) in both DSS
profiles. Do those first. Most of the rest are Level 1 (default; skipping one requires
documented agency IDSC/CIO/CISO approval in a custom System Security Plan). BD-3/4/5 are
Level 2 (best practice).

## Source and currency

Control text in this skill and in `references/tl-bd-pr-controls.md` is embedded from
info.standards.tech.gov.sg as of **2026-07-16**. The standards iterate actively. For
compliance-critical decisions, verify against the live catalog:

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add kyleoliveiro/sg-gov-skills/sg-gov-service-shell@sha256:76f923910db4e8b2

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261027.6f21efa, 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.
