Use when starting any conversation, before responding or exploring the project.

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

<skill>

  <subagent-stop>If you were dispatched as a subagent to execute a specific task, skip this skill.</subagent-stop>

  <warning level="hard">
    If a skill might apply, invoke it before responding, asking, or exploring. Follow applicable skills; user instructions take precedence.
  </warning>

  <process>
    <step>**Claude Code:** Invoke `Skill` and follow it; do not `Read` skill files. Use the Claude Code capability mapping when a skill action overlaps a native capability.</step>
    <step>**In Antigravity:** Use native Agent Skills and the capability mapping.</step>
    <step>**Other Agent Skills agents:** Load `.agents/skills/` or `~/.agents/skills/` via the native tool (`skill` in OpenCode) or read `SKILL.md`. Users can type `$skill-name` (Codex) or `/skill-name` (Devin CLI).</step>

  ## Red Flags

  These thoughts mean STOP — you're rationalizing:

  | Thought | Reality |
  |---------|---------|
  | "This is just a simple question" | Questions are tasks. Check for skills. |
  | "I need more context first" | Skill check comes BEFORE clarifying questions. |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add brandonfla/bearpaws/using-bearpaws@sha256:380e63a099f5e21f

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261103.59550d9, 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.
