ai-development-guide SKILL.md skillA

This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed, one of 5 indexed copies. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.

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

Install it, pinned
mdr add shinpr/claude-code-workflows/ai-development-guide@git:20261019.e544b5c

Pins git:20261019.e544b5c in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Applies language-agnostic and backend technical decision criteria, anti-pattern detection, debugging, and quality gates. Use when reviewing general/backend implementation choices, code smells, failures, or implementation completeness.

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 Developer Guide - Technical Decision Criteria and Anti-pattern Collection

## Value-First Engineering

Inspect until the evidence identifies the lowest-total-complexity solution that delivers the required user, operator, or maintainer value while keeping the system correct and maintainable.
- Resolve verified problems within confirmed scope or dependencies required for the outcome; report other findings with their owning boundary and evidence without expanding the active change.
- Introduce capabilities, infrastructure, abstractions, or speculative edge-case handling when a current outcome, verified constraint, or evidence-backed material risk requires them.
- Treat behavior-preserving maintenance inside the confirmed responsibility as current maintainer value when repository evidence shows it reduces change ambiguity, duplicate ownership, defect risk, or future implementation and verification cost without expanding observable product scope.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add shinpr/claude-code-workflows/ai-development-guide@sha256:9bd555eacd512742

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261019.e544b5c, 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.
