Find and follow a Commonplace library procedure, instruction, or type by name. Use when the user names a Commonplace procedure or asks how Commonplace does something, and no more specific cp-skill applies.

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

# cp-skill-library

**Request: $ARGUMENTS**

**Intent.** Get the agent from a name or topic the user gives to the library file that governs it, and follow that file. The library indexes itself: every document in it carries a `description:` line, so searching those lines finds the right file without a separate list that could fall out of date.

This skill lives in the library's `instructions/` directory; the library root is its parent. Resolve the paths below from this file's real location.

- **A procedure or instruction:** search the `description:` lines of the Markdown files under `../` (the instructions directory, including skill directories) for the request's terms. Read the best match and follow it. If several fit, name them and ask which one the user means.
- **A type:** read `../../types/<name>.md`, or list `../../types/` when the name is uncertain.
- **Background or rationale:** start from `../../tags/README.md` or `../../reference/README.md`.

Links inside library files are relative to each file. If nothing matches, say so rather than guessing.

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add zby/commonplace/cp-skill-library@sha256:dd1928680498b1c4

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260925.f54a2e9, 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.
