attic-pin SKILL.md skillA
attic-pin from nishikantaray/attic is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add nishikantaray/attic/attic-pin@v1.6.1Pins v1.6.1 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Pin an attic item so it is always injected into new sessions and never trimmed when the index outgrows its budget. Use when the user says "pin this", "always remember this", "keep this in context", or when an item is a long-lived architectural decision or constraint that must survive. Use --unpin to reverse it.
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
# Pin an attic item
First, in the same shell command as anything below, locate the script:
```bash
ATTIC_JS=$(ls -d "${CODEX_HOME:-$HOME/.codex}"/plugins/cache/attic/attic/*/skills/attic/scripts/attic.js "${CODEX_HOME:-$HOME/.codex}"/skills/attic/scripts/attic.js "$HOME"/.agents/skills/attic/scripts/attic.js .agents/skills/attic/scripts/attic.js 2>/dev/null | sort -V | tail -1)
```
```bash
node "$ATTIC_JS" pin $ARGUMENTS
```
Pinned items occupy a reserved share of the injected index, so they survive
even when hundreds of newer items exist. That budget is finite: pin the
handful of things that must always be in context, not everything important.
Good candidates: an architectural decision the whole project depends on, a
constraint that is easy to forget, the location of something non-obvious.
Bad candidates: a finding about code that changes weekly, anything already
obvious from the repository.
Reply in one line with what was pinned and the current pinned count from
`/attic-index`. If the user is pinning a fifth or later item, say plainly
that the pinned tier is small and ask which one should be unpinned.Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add nishikantaray/attic/attic-pin@sha256:505c4ba31f366fe1The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.6.1, 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.
