Explain a GitHub issue or pull request at 100, 200, and 300 level. Verifies every claim against the code, then writes a markdown and a self-contained HTML version into .scratchpad/issue-NNNN/ or .scratchpad/pr-NNNN/ and opens it for preview. Starts no server; offers a command for anyone who wants one. Use when asked to explain, write up, or produce an explainer for an issue or PR.
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
# Explainer Skill Turn a GitHub issue or pull request into an explainer a colleague can read at whatever depth they need. Three levels, one document: 100 for anyone, 200 for how it works, 300 for the code. Apply the [writing](../writing/SKILL.md) skill to every word of prose. Invoke it, then run its revision pass before you write the file. No emojis and no em-dashes anywhere, per the repo rules. ## Inputs Accept any of these and resolve to a number plus a kind: - A full URL: `https://github.com/agentic-community/mcp-gateway-registry/issues/1832` - A PR URL: `.../pull/1711` - A bare reference: `#1832`, `1832`, `owner/repo#1832` A URL containing `/pull/` is a PR. Everything else needs a check, because `gh issue view` succeeds on PRs too. Run `gh pr view <n> --json number` and treat a clean exit as a PR. Write output to `.scratchpad/issue-NNNN/` or `.scratchpad/pr-NNNN/`. Create it with `mkdir -p`. `.scratchpad/` is gitignored, so nothing you write here can be committed. ## Step 1: gather For an issue: ```bash gh issue view <n> --json number,title,state,labels,author,createdAt,body,comments ``` For a PR, get the discussion and the diff: ```bash …

How to install
mdr add agentic-community/mcp-gateway-registry/explainer@sha256:5cbc8babfd58bb64The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1, 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.
