Compacted runtime projection of the Pattern Language as Agent Skill (PLAS) LPF. Author and improve a Domain Principle Framework (DPF) or Local Practices Framework (LPF) directly in Agent-skill form (SKILL.md + references/). Use when creating, revising, or maintaining a DPF/LPF as a skill, or when the user mentions "pattern language as agent skill". Depends on fpf-core.

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 as Agent Skill (PLAS) — compacted projection

**Depends on:** `fpf-core` (governing method FPF); `agent-skill-builder` (carrier mechanics); `episteme-compaction` (for `PLAS.CompactedProjection`)
**Bounded context:** authoring, using, and evolving a DPF or LPF whose sole carrier is an Agent skill
**Source & readiness:** a representation of the canonical carrier at `<project>/skills/pattern-language-as-agent-skill/` (it owns the graph and provenance); readiness (collective): `source-faithful` — compacted profile, not `case-validated`

## When to load which pattern

| Situation | Load |
|---|---|
| Deciding whether and what to author as a DPF-skill (cold start) | `references/PLAS.EntryRoute.md` |
| Setting up the skill directory layout and the single-surface decision | `references/PLAS.SkillLayout.md` |
| Writing SKILL.md as a routing-only dispatcher | `references/PLAS.Dispatcher.md` |
| Writing one pattern body in references/ | `references/PLAS.PatternBody.md` |
| Recording a card's FPF dependencies (frontmatter) | `references/PLAS.GoverningCues.md` |
| Naming the skill and PatternIDs | `references/PLAS.Naming.md` |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add dimonier/skills/pattern-language-as-agent-skill@sha256:8be2a78013ce1967

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261018.b2b1b02, 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.
