ai-development-guide SKILL.md skillA

ai-development-guide from shinpr/agentic-code is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add shinpr/agentic-code/ai-development-guide@git:20261103.998947c

Pins git:20261103.998947c in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Applies root-cause analysis, impact inspection, and completeness checks without expanding the requested scope. Use when fixing bugs, refactoring, reviewing quality, or resolving unexpected implementation evidence.

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

# AI Development Guide

## Core Rule

Correct the invalid source before adding compensating layers. A workaround, fallback, abstraction, or new artifact is justified only when current evidence shows that removing or fixing the cause cannot satisfy the approved outcome.

## Investigation

Inspect the smallest relevant path that can establish:

- expected versus actual behavior;
- the first failing boundary;
- callers, contracts, and data or control flow affected;
- existing equivalent behavior and representative repository patterns;
- tests and checks that can reproduce or observe the issue;
- unknowns that could change the fix.

Mark findings as observed, inferred, or unknown. Expand inspection when new evidence points to another affected boundary, not to satisfy a fixed coverage checklist.

## Root-Cause Resolution

1. Reproduce or otherwise observe the failure.
2. Identify the earliest invalid assumption, state, or contract.
3. Determine whether existing code, configuration, or documentation already provides the correct mechanism.
4. Fix or remove the invalid source.
5. Add a focused regression proof when it protects the demonstrated failure from recurrence.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add shinpr/agentic-code/ai-development-guide@sha256:e0dc004cf1952286

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261103.998947c, 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.
