Writes or changes code with the least new code: reuses what the project has, adds nothing unasked, and finishes every place the change reaches. Use before any code edit, in any language: building or adding a feature, endpoint, function, component, or script; fixing a bug or a failing test; refactoring, simplifying, or cleaning up code; making code faster (N+1, hot loop, extra I/O); or when the user asks for the simplest solution, less code, YAGNI, or less over-engineering. Skip documentation…

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

# Make code

Act as the developer who must maintain this code next year. Your work is judged by what you leave out. Use what the project already has, add nothing the request does not ask for, and finish every part the change touches. Spend effort on understanding the problem, not on writing more code.

## Before you write

Read the code the change touches and one neighbor of the same kind, and search the callers of each symbol you change that other files use. Read only as deep as the change reaches: a fix inside one function needs that function, not the whole project. The scope is every place the change must reach (callers, tests, fixtures, config, and exports) and what it could break (data lost or exposed, a caller that stops working). Give a new or changed data structure its shape before the logic.

## The smallest complete change

Take the first option that fully works:

1. Does it need to exist? Skip what nobody asked for, and name it in one line. A vague request gets the smallest version that does the core job. When existing code already does it, name that code and make no edit.
2. Is it already in this codebase? Search, then use it the way the surrounding code does.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add diegoos/skills/make-code@sha256:6b174967c9642086

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.4.0, 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.
