Author, build, or audit a native SKSE plugin DLL against CommonLibSSE-NG (alandtse ng) — "plugin" here means a compiled DLL, not an .esp or .psc — and load this before any SKSE C++ is written. Use for an SKSE plugin or .dll, declaring and registering a native Papyrus function, BSTEventSinks, game hooks (trampoline, Address Library), SE + AE + VR targeting, or reading someone else's SKSE DLL source. Multi-runtime and lifecycle rules compile clean yet fail at load.
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
# SKSE Plugin Authoring ## Overview An SKSE plugin is a native **C++ DLL** built against CommonLibSSE-NG and shipped as `SKSE/Plugins/<name>.dll` — not an `.esp`, and not a `.psc`. SPID, KID, SkyPatcher, the MCM frameworks, OAR and every crash logger are SKSE DLLs; this skill is how you write one, extend one, or read one. **Audience note.** This skill serves the mod author writing C++, not the modlist builder working at the data layer. The word "plugin" in a request is not a routing signal: editing a record or distributing a form is a different skill. **The houseCARL surface here is thin.** `housecarl_compile_script` is the only tool in the build lane, and it compiles the consumer `.psc`, never the C++; the read tools for job (c) and for load-failure triage are `housecarl_skse` (the SKSE layer of the live order — DLL inventory, the declaration-to-implementation pairing, config references) and `housecarl_load_order_status`. Sibling skills are written `housecarl:<name>` on a Claude Code install; a Codex install sees the bare folder name (`papyrus-reference`). ## Route first — which job is this? …

How to install
mdr add avick3110/housecarl/skse-plugin-authoring@sha256:5403ba607f5f653dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260908.9901954, 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.
