Dispatcher for the Artificer laws-of-software collection (24 laws). Given ANY proposed change, fix, diff, PR, design, ADR, refactor, or architecture decision, classify it and apply only the laws that fire — instead of recalling all 24. Invoke whenever the user or a workflow says "which laws apply", "Artificer laws", "cross-reference against the laws of software", "run the artificer review", "apply the laws of software", "classify and list applicable laws…

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

# Skills from the Artificer — Law Dispatcher

A **router plus a fast lens table**. The collection has 24 law skills; a change usually trips 1–4 of them. Classify the change, apply the matching lenses, report. Speed matters: this runs inside unattended workflows (bug-fixer Step 2, feature-builder design, review-open-prs, triage architecture fork), so answer from the lens table below and load a full law skill only when a lens fires and you need its depth. Loading every matched law as a separate step is what made past runs slow, and the loaded text mostly restates the lens.

## Procedure

1. **Gather the subject.** For a diff, read the changed lines (`git diff <base>...HEAD`), not only the description. For a design, read the design text. State the subject in one sentence.
2. **Classify** against the signal table. Pick the 1–4 laws whose signal is actually present. Matching none is a valid result — force-fitting a law is its own failure.
3. **Apply each lens** using the question in the table, answered against this specific change (name the file/symbol/contract). Load `<law>/SKILL.md` only if the lens fires and you need its remedies.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add the-artificer-of-ciphers-llc/skills-from-the-artificer/skills-from-the-artificer@sha256:4c3b760d90307e9f

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260930.2be88c0, 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.
