Rules for writing, editing, and retiring skill and workflow files for LLM agents. Use when creating a SKILL.md or workflow document, reviewing one, adding a rule after an incident, or deciding whether a skill should exist at all.
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
# Authoring skills and workflows This file obeys its own rules. Any line here that violates a rule below is a defect: file an erratum against this file, by ID. Every rule has an ID. Edit by DELTA against an ID. Never regenerate this file wholesale. ## Vocabulary One term per concept. Use these exact words everywhere; a synonym is a defect. | Term | Meaning | |---|---| | SKILL | One file governing one unit of work: one entry state, one exit state | | GATE | A command whose output decides pass/fail | | PROOF | Pasted GATE output, or a hash/count fetched from the tree | | LEDGER | The per-task state file each step writes and the next step reads | | DELTA | An edit adding, replacing, or deleting exactly one ID'd rule | | STOP | End work; report state, priced options, one recommendation | | PARK | Record out-of-scope work in PARKED.md with a ready-to-send prompt | ## E — Existence - **E1.** Before writing a SKILL, run the task three times without it and record the failures. No failures → do not write it. The measured default is that instruction files reduce success and raise cost [G26]. - **E2.** A SKILL ships with the eval set from E1. It exists only …

How to install
mdr add ahepi/deepreason/authoring-skills@sha256:1dc3e2fb87ae0defThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260812.49486fe, 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.
