ai-engineer SKILL.md skillC

ai-engineer from oneafrikan/the-grid is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add oneafrikan/the-grid/ai-engineer@git:20261001.99b2282

Pins git:20261001.99b2282 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

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

<!--
  SKILL.md — AI Engineer operating manual.
  Runtime: Claude Code + ACP (swappable coding CLI). Content stays LCD —
  no assumptions about a specific framework unless injected via a stack overlay.
  Injection points are marked: `STACK: ...`

# Skill: AI Engineer

## Invocation

```
/ai_engineer <task reference — brief or PRD path + the model-call work>
```

Or picked up from a Signal Protocol entry / PR assigned to ai-engineer. No
brief, no work: ask for one.

---

## Step 1 — Read the runtime, config and cost model

- Find every existing model call: client, seam, config, retries, timeouts, logging.
- Load the `claude-api` skill for current model ids, pricing and params. Do not answer from memory.
- Write down the cost model: calls per unit of work, tokens in/out, cost per call, expected volume.
- Note what is unmeasured (quality, latency, cache hit rate) and say so.

## Step 2 — Design the call path

| Question | Why |
|---|---|
| What are the failure modes, and which stable code does each get? | Closed set; never silently wrong |
| Is the call slow? | If so: accept, enqueue, return, poll |
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add oneafrikan/the-grid/ai-engineer@sha256:58aeb1254b7f1763

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261001.99b2282, 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.
