shell SKILL.md skillA
This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.
shell from kensaurus/skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add kensaurus/skills/shell@git:20260923.cf348bdPins git:20260923.cf348bd in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Run the rest of a /shell request as a literal shell command. Use only when the user explicitly invokes /shell and wants the following text executed directly in the terminal.
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
# Run Shell Commands Use this skill only when the user explicitly invokes `/shell`. ## Behavior 1. Treat all user text after the `/shell` invocation as the literal shell command to run. 2. Execute that command immediately with the terminal tool. 3. Do not rewrite, explain, or "improve" the command before running it. 4. Do not inspect the repository first unless the command itself requires repository context. 5. If the user invokes `/shell` without any following text, ask them which command to run. ## Response - Run the command first. - Then briefly report the exit status and any important stdout or stderr.

How to install
mdr add kensaurus/skills/shell@sha256:44dc713c8988f9e4The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260923.cf348bd, 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.
