Drafts the instructions field of a declarative agent that orchestrates a set of custom skills, under a character cap (default 8,000), from the skills' names and descriptions: role and scope, one routing rule per skill, workflow order, gates written as workflow holds, global rules, output format and what the agent never does. Returns the text in a fenced block with its character count labelled counted or estimated, plus a skill inventory, routing table, gate table, rules trace and open…

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

# Agent instructions drafter

## Purpose
From the names and descriptions of the skills an agent will carry, produce one DRAFT instructions text that ties them together: what the agent is for, which skill fires on which request, in what order, where it holds for the user, the rules for every skill, how every artefact is framed, and what the agent never does. The text fits a character cap, default 8,000, and returns with its count, labelled counted or estimated. The owner pastes, tests and edits it; the agent running this skill configures nothing.

## When to use
Use when the user asks to write, draft, revise, tighten or shorten the instructions, system prompt or orchestration text of an agent that carries several custom skills, or asks how those skills should be sequenced, gated or routed.

Do not use for reviewing one SKILL.md against the format rules, use skill-file-reviewer instead. Do not use to write a skill body; a skill's own file holds its procedure.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add kesslernity/awesome-copilot-agent-skills/agent-instructions-drafter@sha256:03c852791efa009f

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260917.f14a4fb, 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.
