heuristic-to-deterministic SKILL.md skillA
heuristic-to-deterministic from jpcaparas/skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add jpcaparas/skills/heuristic-to-deterministic@v1.0.0Pins v1.0.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Convert repeated heuristics into deterministic behavior: validator scripts, normalizer tools, generators, fixtures, manifests, CI jobs, and hook-ready checks. Use to codify learnings and prevent future guessing. Do NOT use for pure brainstorming or one-off edits.
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
# Heuristic to Deterministic Turn session learnings and repeated review heuristics into repeatable checks, normalizers, generators, fixtures, CI jobs, and hook-ready workflows. ## Decision Tree What kind of heuristic are you converting? - A rule about required or forbidden structure Use or extend a validator. Consult `references/conversion-patterns.md` when artifact selection needs detail. - A rule about canonical formatting, image shape, generated output, or metadata cleanup Reuse a normalizer where available, then verify its postconditions. - A repeated scaffold or generated file layout Use or extend a generator from a manifest or explicit plan. Fix only the shape required by the output contract; leave incidental file organization editable. - A flaky environment or cross-platform failure Select runtime discovery, version checks, fixtures, or CI coverage for the failure. Consult `references/verification.md` when proof depth needs detail. - A prompt guideline for generated media or model output Keep the prompt harness as source, then add deterministic post-generation checks for the properties a script can inspect. …

How to install
mdr add jpcaparas/skills/heuristic-to-deterministic@sha256:57ddfd290a96e2f3The 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.
