Write a prompt teammates can give their AI agents to apply a fix, upgrade, or setup change. Use only when the user explicitly invokes /prompt-for-others.
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
# Prompt For Others Write for an AI agent on a teammate's machine with no chat context. The teammate may be non-technical and will not edit the prompt. ## Workflow 1. Test the fix on the user's machine unless already tested. Never include untested commands. 2. Draft the paragraph in this exact order: - **Goal** in one sentence. - **Context** in 1–2 sentences: what the tool does, the problem, and why the fix is needed. - **Steps** as exact commands, in backticks, in order. - **Verify** with exact commands and expected output. - **Stop rule**: what to do if a precondition is missing. - **Report back**: the 1–2 facts the teammate should receive. 3. Read as an agent with no context: could it run this without questions? Inline any missing context. 4. Give the user one ready-to-copy paragraph in a blockquote, without headings, bullets, or commentary; then stop. ## Rules - One paragraph. If it needs two, the fix is too big; split it or say so. - Commands must be copy-safe: absolute where it matters, no placeholders like `<your-name>` unless the agent can resolve them (`$(id -u)` is fine). …

How to install
mdr add davidondrej/skills/prompt-for-others@sha256:2753e8a6e0fd0458The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260925.41f8784, 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.
