upstream SKILL.md skillA

upstream from nexaduo/marc is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add nexaduo/marc/upstream@git:20260908.0a90938

Pins git:20260908.0a90938 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Opt-in upstream contribution workflow for process improvements and field lessons. Scans the consuming repo's local AGENTS.md, .agents/team.toml, and commit history for emergent rules, sanitizes sensitive client context, formats governed rule origins, and drafts an upstream Pull Request or Issue to the upstream mARC repository — without ever leaking private context. Invoke with /marc:upstream.

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

# /marc:upstream — upstream process improvements & field lessons

You are running the **mARC upstream contribution workflow** (persona: `@scribe`). Your job
is to help the team in a consuming repository capture high-value operational lessons, rule
refinements, or bugfixes discovered in the field and contribute them back to the upstream
mARC product repo — **safely, sanitarily, and with explicit human opt-in**.

---

## Operating Invariant: Context Gating & Zero Leakage

<!-- rules:origin-required -->
- **Self-improvement is context-gated — no autonomous upstream writes.** When mARC runs
  installed in a user's repository, product-level improvements must NEVER be pushed
  autonomously. All upstream contributions are opt-in, human-approved, and strictly
  sanitized before submission. (origin: #46 · 2026-07-06)
- **Hard Anti-Anchoring & Genericization Gate.** Every candidate rule or improvement destined
  for upstream must be 100% stack-agnostic. Remove all references to the consuming repository's
  stack, company name, private service names, internal URLs, credentials, and internal issue
  numbers. (origin: #66 · 2026-07-09)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add nexaduo/marc/upstream@sha256:c3bcb4b053703347

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260908.0a90938, 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.
