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

# Claude Skills Project Configuration

> This file governs Claude's behavior when working on the claude-skills repository.

---

## Skill Authorship Standards

Skills follow the [Agent Skills specification](https://agentskills.io/specification). This section covers project-specific conventions that go beyond the base spec.

### The Description Trap

**Critical:** Never put process steps or workflow sequences in descriptions. When descriptions contain step-by-step instructions, agents follow the brief description instead of reading the full skill content. This defeats the purpose of detailed skills.

Brief capability statements (what it does) and trigger conditions (when to use it) are both appropriate. Process steps (how it works) are not.

**BAD - Process steps in description:**
```yaml
description: Use for debugging. First investigate root cause, then analyze
patterns, test hypotheses, and implement fixes with tests.
```

**GOOD - Capability + trigger:**
```yaml
description: Diagnoses bugs through root cause analysis and pattern matching.
Use when encountering errors or unexpected behavior requiring investigation.
```

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add jeffallan/claude-skills/CLAUDE.md@sha256:df32b21824f99e30

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261003.eae31de, 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.
