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

# AGENTS.md

This repo holds [Agent Skills](https://agentskills.io/home), folders of instructions, scripts, and resources - typically encoding procedural knowledge - that agents can discover and use to do things more accurately and efficiently.

See `skills/optimize-skills` for best practices on designing skills.

Avoid adding extra documentation files inside skills unless explicitly required.
Do not manually add linebreaks, trust linters and formatters for this.

## Source skills vs. installed skills

- This repo is the **upstream source** for the skills it contains.
  The agent assisting on this repo may have overlapping skills installed (visible in its available-skills list); those installed copies are downstream consumers and may be stale or diverged.
- All work in this repo — edits, reviews, refactors, tests — must target the **repo variant** under [skills/](skills/).
  Never operate against the installed version surfaced to the agent.
- **Corollary (pressure-testing):** if the user asks to pressure-test, exercise, or critique a skill defined in this repo, work against the repo variant by reading [skills/\<name>/SKILL.md](skills/) (and its references) directly.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ahgraber/skills/AGENTS.md@sha256:c7ee1b408a296643

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260904.70c249b, 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.
