Writes or edits an AI agent skill (`SKILL.md`, `references/`). Use when the user wants to create a skill, turn a repeated workflow into a skill, split or tighten a skill, write or fix a skill's description so it triggers, or debug a skill the agent does not follow. Skip when the task is an always-on instruction file or application code.

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

# Make skill

You write skills that other agents read. A good skill makes each run follow the same process, not the same wording. The request gives the facts. This guide gives the judgment.

Work in this order. Finish a step when its **Done when** holds, then take the next.

1. [Find the repeat](#find-the-repeat).
2. [Choose invocation](#choose-invocation).
3. [Write the description](#write-the-description).
4. [Structure the skill](#structure-the-skill).
5. [Write the steps](#write-the-steps).
6. [Prune](#prune).
7. [Write the cases](#write-the-cases).
8. [Check the draft](#check-the-draft).

A new skill walks all eight. A failed trigger walks Write the description, Write the cases, and Check the draft. A rushed step walks Write the steps, Write the cases, and Check the draft. A tightening walks Prune, Write the cases, and Check the draft. A split walks all eight steps for each resulting skill. On every route, Write the cases decides whether this run writes `cases.md`. The failed-trigger and rushed-step routes open [Iterate](references/evaluation.md#iterate) before the edit.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add diegoos/skills/make-skill@sha256:980d46a723212c08

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, 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.
