replication-package SKILL.md skillA
replication-package from scdenney/open-science-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add scdenney/open-science-skills/replication-package@git:20261019.3e1eabePins git:20261019.3e1eabe in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Scaffolds or audits a social-science replication package and evaluates the manuscript and archived research objects against FAIR principles. Scaffold mode writes the folder structure, README, master.R, figure-table crosswalk, codebook, LICENSE placeholder, and .gitignore; audit mode grades the package against a pre-release checklist and audits data, code, materials, identifiers, licenses, access restrictions, and availability statements. Use when setting up or repairing a package, checking one…
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
# Replication Package ## Heritage and attribution The structural conventions here — single entry point, compact vs. build/analyze layouts, the figure/table crosswalk, the paper-consistency check, the pre-release checklist — come from **Yusaku Horiuchi**'s [replication-package-guide](https://github.com/yhoriuchi/replication-package-guide), whose README explicitly authorizes agent consumption: it is "designed to be read by humans and by coding agents such as Codex or Claude Code before they prepare, audit, or repair a replication package." This skill modifies rather than copies that guide. The FAIR principles are folded in (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable; [Wilkinson et al. 2016](https://doi.org/10.1038/sdata.2016.18); [GO FAIR](https://www.go-fair.org/fair-principles/)) so the scaffolded package is platform-neutral, and platform-specific upload mechanics are dropped: build and audit the local package, generate no upload code. Uploading to Harvard Dataverse, OSF, Zenodo, a journal repository, or an institutional archive belongs to the user and the platform's own tools. …

How to install
mdr add scdenney/open-science-skills/replication-package@sha256:482740a54df30041The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261019.3e1eabe, 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.
