leaky-abstractions skillA

leaky-abstractions is agent-read markdown (skill) from the-artificer-of-ciphers-llc/skills-from-the-artificer: Apply the Law of Leaky Abstractions when someone is frustrated that a library, framework, or ORM isn't hiding complexity the way it promised, when debugging requires diving into implementation details that "shouldn't matter", or when deciding how much abstraction to build on top of something. Trigger on phrases like "the ORM is doing something weird", "I have to understand how X works even though I'm using library Y", "why do I need to know the underlying SQL?", "this abstraction is breaking dow.

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
