Identifies and proposes removal of unnecessary complexity, bloat, and over-engineering.

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

<!-- loom-managed-skill -->
<!-- GENERATED FILE — DO NOT EDIT DIRECTLY.
     Produced by `loom-daemon generate-agent-skills` from
     defaults/.claude/commands/loom/hermit.md (the same source Claude Code
     reads as /loom:hermit via .claude/commands/loom/). This is the
     cross-vendor skill-discovery surface (.agents/skills/<name>/SKILL.md)
     read natively by Codex, Kimi Code, Mistral Vibe, and Grok — see
     runtime-adapters.md §5. To change this file, edit the source above
     and re-run the generator; CI (`loom-daemon generate-agent-skills
     --check`) fails if this file is stale. -->

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add rjwalters/kicad-tools/loom-hermit@sha256:af573f66958d43f6

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261015.a58e9ea, 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.
