Benchmark skill for testing directory recognition and naming divergence. Use when asked to probe directory handling.
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
# Nonstandard Directories Probe This skill contains directories that are NOT in the spec's original three (`scripts/`, `references/`, `assets/`). It tests how platforms handle unrecognized directories and whether any platforms use alternative names. ## Directory Layout This skill contains: - `evals/` - A directory recommended by the evaluating-skills guide but not formally in the spec's optional directories section. - `templates/` - A completely nonstandard directory. - `resources/` - A plausible alternative name for the spec's `references/`. ## Instructions When activated, report: 1. **Directory awareness**: Which directories in this skill are you aware of? List all directories you can see or that were enumerated to you. 2. **Content visibility**: For each directory you're aware of, can you see the file listing? Can you see file contents without reading them yourself? 3. **Resources vs. references**: This skill uses `resources/` instead of the spec-defined `references/`. Does the platform treat this directory the same as it would treat `references/`? Is the content enumerated, loaded, or ignored?

How to install
mdr add agent-ecosystem/agent-skill-implementation/probe-nonstandard-dirs@sha256:1c6348468986dd21The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260321.ac05438, 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.
