Write an Alexandrian pattern language (pattern-language.yaml) for a repository: read the existing materials, mine recurring force-configurations, and emit a YAML file in the fixed format shared by the existing pattern languages (declarative-agents, agent-failure-modes). Also validates and extends existing languages. Triggers: pattern language, design patterns yaml, extract patterns, mine patterns, pattern-language.yaml, Alexander patterns, forces and solution, pattern grammar, write the…
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
# Pattern language (mine materials, write the YAML) This skill turns a repository's materials into a `pattern-language.yaml` in the Alexandrian tradition: not a catalogue of tips but a *language* — each pattern names a field of forces and the configuration that resolves them, and the grammar connects each pattern to the ones that create its context and the ones that complete it. ## Where things live - **Format:** `references/format-spec.md` — the schema (header block, top-level keys, entry keys, grammar semantics, quality bar), distilled from the three existing instances. - **Method:** `references/mining-guide.md` — forces-first extraction, the confidence rubric, disqualifiers, ordering, sizing. - **Skeleton:** `assets/template.yaml` — copy to start a new language; it validates as-is. - **Validator:** `scripts/validate_language.py <file>` — structural checks (keys, unique ids/numbers, grammar resolution, cites, connectivity); `--fix-plan` adds a concrete suggested edit per finding (read-only). ## Known instances (study before writing) | File | Role | |---|---| …

How to install
mdr add petar-djukic/writing-skills/pattern-language@sha256:8765a24ec92e2a65The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260726.f2d3e11, 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.
