chobo SKILL.md skillA

chobo from i2y/ritsu is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add i2y/ritsu/chobo@git:20261104.5b400fc

Pins git:20261104.5b400fc in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Write, check and build chobo books (`.book` files), a small language for the things counted and moved between accounts (stock, money, points, seats), whose only conditions are the lower and upper bounds of accounts, each kept in one write on PostgreSQL, TigerBeetle or a database of the MySQL family (MySQL, TiDB, Vitess). Use when stock has to be reserved without selling more than there is, a wallet or points kept from going below 0, refunds kept within the sale, a payment split between parties…

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

## When this applies

The job is a **quantity that moves between accounts and must stay within bounds**: stock that
orders reserve and shipments take, a wallet that payments draw on, points earned and spent,
seats of a day, what is left to refund on an order, a shop's balance that sales fill and payouts
empty. Two orders after the last item at the same moment, a refund retried twice, a hold nobody
ended: chobo writes the code where those go wrong, from a book a person can read.

It does not apply to computing amounts: a fee, a rate, a rounding. A book moves amounts it is
given; the caller works them out, or a rulec rule does (rulec has a skill of its own). Nor to the
steps of a process (wait, retry, ask a person): that is a workflow, which dandori writes and
which calls the book's transfers as tasks. Nor to a general ledger: a balance in chobo is what
came in less what went out, not debits and credits.

The files bundled with this skill are listed in §8. Read them when you need them, not all up
front.

# Working with chobo

Your part is to write the `.book`, get it past `ritsu chobo check`, and build it. Two things stay with
people:

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add i2y/ritsu/chobo@sha256:b68c43178605b59b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261104.5b400fc, 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.
