Best practices for building an unauthenticated public Q&A chatbot widget. Covers rate limiting, security hardening, cost optimization, semantic caching, observability, UX patterns, chat scroll behavior, and architecture. Tech-agnostic with concrete examples from a production implementation.
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
# Public Q&A Chatbot - Best Practices A comprehensive skill for building unauthenticated, public-facing Q&A chatbot widgets on marketing sites, conference pages, documentation portals, and similar contexts where you need to serve anonymous visitors while controlling cost and abuse. Use this as a design and review catalog, not a requirement to add every listed service or subsystem. Select controls for the public exposure, cost, privacy, and UX risks created by the requested change. Server-side secret isolation, server-authoritative enforcement of abuse limits, and safe handling of user content are invariants where those boundaries are touched. Caching, vector search, tracing, virtualization, voice, and multi-layer infrastructure are recommendations or opportunities unless the requested scale or failure mode makes one necessary. Stop when the named widget behavior is usable and its concrete public-abuse/cost risks are bounded; report adjacent improvements as follow-ups. …

How to install
mdr add swyxio/skills/public-qa-chatbot@sha256:9fc5b3aa681ad035The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1, 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.
