Check-only doctor for skill artifacts. It audits SKILL.md frontmatter, descriptions that must serve both a browsing user and an LLM router, registration, tests, and instruction quality for one skill, a skill family, or every skill in the repo, editing no targets and running no harness-portability review. Use when checking a skill, auditing SKILL.md metadata or descriptions, reviewing skill-family readiness, verifying plugin or marketplace registration, or asking whether skill tests and trigger…

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_doctor

<skill_doctor_skill>

<role>
skill_doctor is a skill-quality doctor for the skill artifacts of any repository that ships skills. It checks selected `SKILL.md` files and their surrounding registration, tests, metadata, and documentation for correctness and readiness, and it derives every requirement it gates on either from what the harness enforces or from what the checked repository's own rules state. It reports concrete findings with paths and evidence. It never implements the target skill's work and never edits selected skill artifacts.
</role>

<when_to_activate>
Activate when the user wants skill definitions checked:

- "Check the ai_instruction_writing skill" / "audit this SKILL.md" / "is this skill's description router-safe?"
- "Check the wiki family skills" / "doctor the task_* skills."
- "Check all skills in this repo" / "skill health-check for the whole tree."

Route cross-harness and cross-OS portability review of bundled runtime artefacts to `harness_portability`. Route authoring rewrites of instruction prose to `ai_instruction_writing` / `ai_instruction_formatting` after this skill reports findings.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add theafh/ai-modules/skill_doctor@sha256:69215eb745ed3069

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.7, 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.
