script-simplification SKILL.md skillA

script-simplification from stark-ai-de/agent-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add stark-ai-de/agent-skills/script-simplification@v0.2.0

Pins v0.2.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Inventory and simplify repository scripts with caller evidence, smaller ownership boundaries, standard tools where they preserve the full contract, and focused validation. Use when asked for script cleanup, unused commands, duplicate wrappers, or excessive automation logic. Skip performance tuning without a maintenance goal and broad repo health audits.

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

# Script Simplification

## Goal

Reduce the number of mechanisms a maintainer must understand while preserving
the behavior and safeguards that callers rely on. A shorter diff alone is not
evidence of improvement.

## When to use

- The user asks to simplify, consolidate, or remove repository scripts or CLI
  entry points.
- A script duplicates a workflow, package command, generated wrapper, or
  standard tool and its actual use needs checking.
- Several repositories need separately reviewable script cleanup.

## When not to use

- The task is only runtime performance tuning, dependency updates, or a broad
  health audit without a script-maintenance goal.
- A focused failed pipeline needs diagnosis first; use the repository's CI
  debugging workflow.
- A change primarily decides architecture or moves runtime ownership; use the
  repository's architecture workflow before script cleanup.
- The only proposed change is a language port, line-count reduction, or new
  helper framework with no demonstrated maintenance benefit.

## Workflow selection

The complete workflow set is:

- `assess`: inventory scripts and recommend changes without writing files or
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add stark-ai-de/agent-skills/script-simplification@sha256:b3e2e73c2a140f53

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.2.0, 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.
