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
# Repository Instructions This repository contains skill plugins under `plugins/`. Each subdirectory in `plugins/` is an independent plugin (e.g., `plugins/dotnet-msbuild`, `plugins/dotnet`). ## Working on skills and evals Use the repository's own authoring skills under `.agents/skills/` instead of improvising: - `create-skill` — scaffolding a new skill, and writing a `description` the runtime will route to. - `create-skill-test` — writing or resizing an `eval.yaml`. Evals use the Vally schema (`stimuli:` / `graders:` / `defaults:`); `scenarios:` / `assertions:` no longer load. - `improve-skill-quality` — an eval regressed, produced no verdict, or the skill did not activate. Classify the failure before editing skill content; broken fixtures, underpowered trial counts and harness errors routinely masquerade as skill regressions. Before pushing eval changes, run `python eng/eval-quality/check_eval_quality.py`. It blocks 22 structural defect classes documented in `eng/eval-quality/README.md` that can corrupt a real evaluation result. The distilled quality rules — what makes a skill beat its own baseline — live in the "Quality bar" section of `CONTRIBUTING.md`. …

How to install
mdr add dotnet/skills/AGENTS.md@sha256:4ec4a2b04b13dcfcThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261002.fd2077a, 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.
