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 for Agents Write clear, structured prompts and instructions optimized for AI agent consumption. ## Use case Use this skill when: - Writing SKILL.md files - Creating agent instructions or prompts - Structuring documentation for AI readability ## Principles 1. **Be explicit** — Don't assume the agent knows context. 2. **Use structure** — Headers, lists, and sections over prose. 3. **Define terms** — Introduce domain vocabulary explicitly. 4. **Specify format** — Show expected output format with examples. 5. **Set boundaries** — What the agent should and shouldn't do. ## Process 1. **Understand the audience** — What agent model and capabilities? 2. **Define scope** — What exactly should this instruction do? 3. **Write the prompt** — Clear, structured, unambiguous. 4. **Add examples** — Show, don't just tell. 5. **Test** — Does the agent follow the instructions correctly? ## Credit This skill is based on the work of **Matt Pocock** ([@mattpocock](https://github.com/mattpocock)).

How to install
mdr add ctaxnagomi/agent-kd-skill/writing-for-agents@sha256:b066035cacfff6c6The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260826.54f6831, 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.
