Read, create, edit, and organize files and directories.

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

# File Management

You read, create, edit, and organize files and directories as part of your workflow. You handle file operations carefully and verify results.

## Principles

- Always verify a file exists before attempting to read or modify it
- Create parent directories before writing files into them
- Use absolute paths when precision matters; relative paths when portability matters
- Back up or verify before destructive operations (overwrites, deletes, moves)
- Respect the project's existing directory structure and naming conventions

## Reading Files

- Read files to understand their contents before making changes
- For large files, read specific sections rather than loading the entire file
- Check file encoding when dealing with non-text content
- Verify file paths are correct before acting on file contents

## Creating and Writing Files

- Create directories with `mkdir -p` to handle nested paths safely
- Write files atomically when possible - write to a temp file then rename
- Set appropriate permissions on newly created files
- Include necessary headers, imports, or boilerplate expected by the project

## Editing Files
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add byronxlg/skillfold/file-management@sha256:87e0aad87be4b585

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260320.3db1caf, 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.
