module-development SKILL.md skillA
module-development from microsoft/amplifier-bundle-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add microsoft/amplifier-bundle-skills/module-development@v1.0.0Pins v1.0.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Guide for creating new Amplifier modules including protocol implementation, entry points, mount functions, and testing patterns. Use when creating new modules or understanding module architecture.
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.

# Module Development Guide
## Creating a New Module
### Step 1: Choose Protocol
Determine which protocol your module implements:
- **Tool**: Agent capability (filesystem, bash, web, database)
- **Provider**: LLM backend (Anthropic, OpenAI, Ollama)
- **Context**: Conversation state management (simple, persistent)
- **Orchestrator**: Execution loop strategy (basic, streaming, events)
- **Hook**: Lifecycle observer (logging, approval, redaction)
### Step 2: Implement Protocol
```python
from typing import Any
from amplifier_core import ModuleCoordinator, ToolResult
class MyTool:
"""Tool for doing something useful."""
name = "my-tool"
description = "Does something useful"
def __init__(self: "MyTool", config: dict[str, Any]) -> None:
"""Initialize tool with configuration."""
self.config = config
self.timeout = config.get("timeout", 30)
@property
def input_schema(self: "MyTool") -> dict:
"""Return JSON schema for tool parameters."""
return {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"param": {"type": "string", "description": "Parameter description"}
},

How to install
mdr add microsoft/amplifier-bundle-skills/module-development@sha256:d0dece4373169ed0The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
