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

## purpose

this is a public snapshot of a working engineering setup. share the skills and workflow so readers can adopt the parts that fit their own projects

## maintaining skills

- `.skill-source-repository` contains the path or url of the repository to copy skills from; use it unless the user asks for a different repository
- when updating skills, inspect both repositories' git histories to see what edits have been made to the skill from the source repository, if any
- keep complete skill folders at the repository root, including supporting scripts, prompts and configuration
- copy source skills unchanged unless edits are needed for confidentiality or explicitly requested
- project-specific commands, conventions and references to skills not included here are intentional. keep them rather than turning the collection into a self-contained framework
- check every added or updated file for confidential information and remove it before publication

## readme

- keep it short and list every included skill in the table
- when adding a skill, write 5 distinct versions of its readme entry and apply the best one

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add nicholas-greenwood/agentic-engineering-skills/AGENTS.md@sha256:f6989a9b919f8391

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261027.18c3e07, 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.
