version-control SKILL.md skillA
version-control from gke-labs/kube-agents is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add gke-labs/kube-agents/version-control@git:20261103.b2befefPins git:20261103.b2befef in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Read and change a hosted repository through forge-neutral verbs. Version control here is abstracted — remote operations go through vcs.py, local operations use a credential-free VCS binary on a working copy that vcs.py puts on disk. Covers history, file modes, proposals and issues, so no forge CLI is needed.
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
# version-control - remote operations through vcs.py, local operations with git Version control here is **abstracted**. Everything is one of two things, and getting an operation into the right half is most of using this skill. **Remote operations — anything that crosses the network or spends a credential.** These go through `scripts/vcs.py`, which speaks to a broker in another container. Only the broker holds the credential; nothing here does. The remote verbs are exactly these: `capabilities`, `identity`, `clone`, `publish`, `proposal create|list|view|comment|update|close|commits|acknowledge`, `issue create|list|view|comment|update|close`, `label ensure`, `remote-branch view|delete`. `update` edits a title or body and adds or removes labels; `close` closes; `commits` lists the revisions on a proposal's source branch; `acknowledge` reacts to a comment (its `id` and `kind` come from `view --comments`) so its author sees it was read — `capabilities` says whether this forge supports it. `issue list --query <text>` searches, and `--without-labels` skips issues carrying any of them — that is how a queue is read for unclaimed work. …

How to install
mdr add gke-labs/kube-agents/version-control@sha256:7e43a7683c134de8The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261103.b2befef, 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.
