Use when a project needs a guide of its own: a rule for how a kind of code is shaped while written, scoped to the files it governs. Produces the project's `guide-<name>` skill at `<repo>/.claude/skills/guide-<name>/SKILL.md`. Not for a repository-wide convention (write-conventions) and not for a skill that does work (write-skills).
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
# Create a guide
A guide is a skill that loads on the files it governs and shapes code while it is written.
1. Settle with the person: what code it governs, the shaping step, what ok at merge means.
2. Write `<repo>/.claude/skills/guide-<name>/SKILL.md` in this shape:
- frontmatter: `name: guide-<name>`; `description` the trigger only (what activates it, what it produces, what it excludes); `paths` a list of globs, **required**, the code files it governs, never docs (a guide for all code: `["**/*.{ts,tsx,js,py,go,…}"]`).
- `**Applies**`: the code it covers, in one line.
- `## Shaping step`: 3–5 numbered steps, done before the code; a skill it hands to, by name alone.
- `## Ok at merge`: checkable lines a reviewer ticks.
3. Name no file, module or name a glob does not need; a guide outlives the code that prompted it.
4. Show the person the file; done on their yes.Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add ovich/swarmstorm/guide-create@sha256:35d2a51d2963b285The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261029.0f93e64, 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.
