[Adam''s Skills] Build a piece of work, from wherever it is written down — a ticket number or URL, a plan or spec file, the plan agreed in the conversation above, or a description typed straight after the command. Reads whatever source it is given plus the code it names, then asks whatever the source and the code left unanswered — the why above all — before pinning in writing exactly which files will change and which will not. That scope note goes to disk, so it survives compaction and gives a…
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
# Build It However the work reached you, it arrived compressed. A ticket records *what* somebody decided and almost never *why*; a plan written an hour ago leans on a conversation that is about to be compacted; a one-line request carries the whole reason in the requester's head and none of it on the page. Building straight from any of those means building from the compression artefact. This skill decompresses before it writes any code: read whatever the work is written down in, read the code it names, ask whatever those two left unanswered, and write down what is in scope and what is not. Then build that, and only that. The two failure modes it exists for are **building the wrong thing confidently** and **scope creep**. The first is answered by the interview, the second by the scope note. **No issue tracker is required.** A ticket is the tidiest input, not the only one. ``` /build-it 412 # a ticket number /build-it #412 · /build-it <url> # the same, or an issue URL /build-it docs/plan-auth.md # a plan or spec file /build-it add rate limiting to the export endpoint # a description, typed straight in …

How to install
mdr add adamlinscott/claude-skills/build-it@sha256:896db7402ec6f6daThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261008.a87265d, 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.
