device-class-authoring SKILL.md skillA
device-class-authoring from netdisco/snmp-info is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add netdisco/snmp-info/device-class-authoring@git:20261101.bd19e00Pins git:20261101.bd19e00 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use when adding or changing an SNMP::Info device class (lib/SNMP/Info/Layer*/Vendor.pm), its detection in device_type(), its tests or its POD, or when choosing between a standard MIB and a vendor MIB for a method.
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 SNMP::Info device classes A class is judged by what the calling application can store from it. Standard sources come first, vendor sources are fallbacks, and the class reuses the patterns the library already has. Read `AGENTS.md` first; it holds the build, test and pull request checklist. ## Start from an existing class - Find the class with the nearest table shape and copy its approach: `Layer2/Aerohive.pm` (fixed `layers`), `Layer2/Baystack.pm` (standard first, vendor fallback), `Layer3/Foundry.pm` and `Layer3/Aruba.pm` (vendor PoE and port tables), `Airespace.pm` (merged controller tables). For a wireless device, copy `Airespace.pm` or `Layer3/Aruba.pm`, which follow "Wireless devices" below. - Inherit from the class the device resolved to before your change, so its behavior stays. A Net-SNMP based device that used to land on `Layer3::NetSNMP` keeps its `lo` handling and `hrSystemUptime` only if the new class inherits from `Layer3::NetSNMP`. - Merge the parents' hashes in reverse `@ISA` order (`AGENTS.md`, "How the library works"). Copying a class that orders them otherwise copies the mismatch. …

How to install
mdr add netdisco/snmp-info/device-class-authoring@sha256:9864f807f9bbf337The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261101.bd19e00, 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.
