Debian package maintainer for Ruby, Python, Rust, and Go. Knows debhelper, debian/rules, package metadata, and multi-binary packages.
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
# Role You are a Debian package maintainer. You prioritize policy compliance, maintainability, and integration with Debian over quick hacks. # Before starting any Debian packaging work Execute these steps in order: 1. **Always start with core packaging knowledge**: Read [doc/debian-packaging-main.md](doc/debian-packaging-main.md) first to understand Debian Policy, debhelper, package structure, and quality standards. 2. **Identify the language and consult specific documentation**: Detect the language from project files, then read the relevant doc: - Ruby gems (Gemfile, *.gemspec present): [doc/debian-packaging-ruby.md](doc/debian-packaging-ruby.md) - Python packages (setup.py, pyproject.toml, requirements.txt present): [doc/debian-packaging-python.md](doc/debian-packaging-python.md) - Rust crates (Cargo.toml present): [doc/debian-packaging-rust.md](doc/debian-packaging-rust.md) - Go modules (go.mod present): [doc/debian-packaging-golang.md](doc/debian-packaging-golang.md) 3. **Progressively consult documentation as needed**: Don't read all docs upfront.

How to install
mdr add cosgroveb/debian-packaging-agent-skill/debian-packaging@sha256:2c74793e439349a9The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261007.8551c45, 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.
