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

# Agent Instructions

These instructions apply to the entire `story-skills` repository. `CLAUDE.md` is a symlink to this file so Claude Code reads the same instructions. Edit this file and leave the symlink in place.

## Project Overview

Story Skills is a Bun/Node package that ships Agent Skills for fiction-writing workflows plus a small deterministic `story` CLI. The core format is plain markdown with YAML frontmatter. Skills guide creative workflows; the CLI handles mechanical maintenance such as validation, registry rebuilds, word counts, link checks, exports, and disposable builds.

Primary paths:

- `skills/` - published `SKILL.md` workflows and their reference files
- `src/` - source modules for the `story` CLI. `src/commands.js` and `src/options.js` are the command and option registries: add a command or flag there, and `story --help`, argument parsing, and project-path handling follow from the entry
- `bin/story.js` - package binary entrypoint
- `skills/story-maintenance/scripts/story.js` - Node-compatible bundled fallback CLI for copied skill installs
- `test/` - Bun tests
- `examples/` - sample Story Skills projects

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add danjdewhurst/story-skills/AGENTS.md@sha256:e3c0abc43efb6aec

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261101.ee29402, 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.
