Demonstrate the repository's standard Agent Skill structure. Use when creating a new skill or checking the expected authoring conventions for this repository.

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

# Example Skill

## Purpose

This is a starter skill demonstrating the required structure. Replace it or remove this directory after adding your own skills.

## Workflow

1. Identify the user's requested outcome and relevant constraints.
2. Inspect the available inputs before making assumptions.
3. Carry out the task using explicit, verifiable steps.
4. Check the result against the requested outcome.
5. Report the result and any limitations.

## Rules

- Prefer specific, actionable instructions.
- Do not claim to have run checks that were not run.
- Keep supporting reference material in separate files when it is only needed for some tasks.

## Output

Provide the requested result and a concise account of relevant decisions or checks.

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add galvarcus/claude-skills/example-skill@sha256:66fe81a72f4d3037

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261010.d9c713d, 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.
