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

# Writing Skills

Create or reshape a skill so it loads at the right time, gives the model the
result and the finish line, and ships intact to every target. The same rules
apply to agent bodies and other AI-facing instruction files; the
reviewing-instructions skill scores against them.

Done when the skill meets the shape and writing rules below, the rendered Claude
skill still holds the base body and its reference links, and the relevant
build/test/lint checks pass on what you changed, or you name each check that did
not run and why.

Without write access, return proposed changes (file, change, reason) instead of
applying them.

## References

- `references/skill-principles.md` — read when choosing invocation mode,
  splitting or merging skills, or pruning a long skill.
- `references/repo-conventions.md` — read before touching package JSON,
  overlays, target-only tokens, generated output, or evals in this repo.

## Shape

These follow the agentskills.io specification:

- `name`: lowercase kebab-case, at most 64 characters, matching the directory.
- `description`: at most 1024 characters, saying what the skill does, when to

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add alexei-led/cc-thingz/writing-skills@sha256:654f9fbb8e6f00ce

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261005.de984fb, 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.
