dinostack SKILL.md skillC

dinostack from space-dinosaurs/dinostack is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add space-dinosaurs/dinostack/dinostack@v1.0.0

Pins v1.0.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Agentic Engineering Protocol for Hermes - structured delegation model, risk classification, adversarial review loops, code quality gates, git workflow conventions, and named agent definitions. Load this skill when doing AI-assisted software development with Hermes Agent.

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

# Agentic Engineering Protocol (Hermes)

A portable methodology for AI-assisted software development. Provides structured delegation, risk classification, adversarial review, code quality gates, and git workflow conventions.

**Source of truth:** All content is generated from `content/` in the dinostack repo. Do not edit this file directly - edit sources and run `.hermes/build.sh`.

**Live docs:** https://docs.dinostack.ai

**Repo:** `~/DinoStack/`

## Methodology

## Activation preflight

Run this check once at the first skill invocation (and every `/`-command). Read activation config and the project marker directly; resolve identity exactly once with `ds-identity resolve-hook --cwd <cwd>` (3-second timeout, 64 KiB output cap). Do not spawn or use LLM reasoning. Resolver failure means identity `none` and never blocks activation. **Exception:** Step 6 may run the bounded, fail-open `bin/ds-migrate` scaffolding sync.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add space-dinosaurs/dinostack/dinostack@sha256:64100128bf3cb8ad

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
