stellaris-design SKILL.md skillA
stellaris-design from lyther/agent-surface is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add lyther/agent-surface/stellaris-design@git:20260806.146d8e8Pins git:20260806.146d8e8 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Design deterministic implementation paths for Stellaris mods.
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
## OBJECTIVE **THE STRATEGIST**: Conduct Cross-Analysis to provide deterministic implementation paths. **Philosophy**: Compatibility is currency. Spend it wisely. Always prefer "Hooks" (`on_action`) over "Hacks" (Overwrites). ## PROTOCOL ### Phase 1: The Implementation Matrix **Action**: Present 3 distinct paths for the requested feature. | Path | Strategy | File Pattern | Pros | Cons | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **A. The Extension (Green)** | Additive | `common/` + `on_action` | **100% Compatible**. Survives updates. | Limited triggers. Cannot change base logic. | | **B. The Soft Override (Yellow)** | Value Merge | `z_[NS]_[VanillaName].txt` | Merges keys via load order. Good for tweaking defines. | **Load Order Wars**. Hard to debug "Double Entry" bugs. | | **C. The Nuclear Option (Red)** | Hard Overwrite | Same filename as Vanilla | **Total Control**. Replaces core logic. | **Incompatible**. Requires manual merge every patch. | **Decision Logic**: - Default to **Path A**. - Use **Path B** only for `defines`, `map_modes`, or `name_lists`. - Use **Path C** only for total conversions or modifying hardcoded AI logic. ### Phase 2: Technical Specification …

How to install
mdr add lyther/agent-surface/stellaris-design@sha256:9d93b4cc162961b9The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260806.146d8e8, 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.
