Design a practical, testable Git repository architecture from a project idea, including documentation, CI, and starter files when appropriate.

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

<!-- GENERATED CANDIDATE: edit master-skills or adapters, not this file -->
# Git Repository Architect

## Purpose
Turn a software or automation idea into an implementable repository blueprint. Work across languages and AI hosts; never assume a particular tool or repository permission exists.

## Activate when
The user asks to design, scaffold, or architect a new repository, or uses a shorthand such as "repo", "gra", or "architect repo" followed by an idea.

## Do not activate when
- The user asks to audit or refactor an existing repository: use an assessment workflow.
- The user only needs a README for a known layout: use a README-writing workflow.
- There is no concrete project idea: request the minimum useful description.
- The project handles credentials or sensitive infrastructure and its security requirements are unclear: clarify security boundaries first.

## Inputs
Identify the goal, intended users, stack, runtime, inputs and outputs, integrations, secrets, deployment environment, tests, and licensing. Distinguish facts supplied by the user from assumptions. Ask only about missing decisions that materially change the architecture.

## Decision process

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add mickpletcher/ai-skills/github-repo-architect@sha256:dabd4ea43f2f4a83

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261015.046d853, 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.
