Skills wiki intro - mandatory workflows, search tool, brainstorming triggers.
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
# Getting Started with Skills ## Critical Rules 1. **Use Read tool before announcing skill usage.** The session-start hook does NOT read skills for you. Announcing without calling Read = lying. 2. **Follow mandatory workflows.** Brainstorming before coding. Check for skills before ANY task. 3. **Create TodoWrite todos for checklists.** Mental tracking = steps get skipped. Every time. ## Mandatory Workflow: Before ANY Task **1. Check skills list** by running the `get_skills` tool (with optional query pattern). **2. If relevant skill exists, YOU MUST use it:** - Use Read tool (or view_file) with the absolute path returned by the `get_skills` tool - Read ENTIRE file, not just frontmatter - Announce: "I've read [Skill Name] skill and I'm using it to [purpose]" - Follow it exactly **Don't rationalize:** - "I remember this skill" - Skills evolve. Read the current version. - "Session-start showed it to me" - That was using-skills/SKILL.md only. Read the actual skill. - "This doesn't count as a task" - It counts. Find and read skills using the `get_skills` tool. …

How to install
mdr add rudycity/superagent/Getting Started with Skills@sha256:a7261a4f5cf725c8The line at the top of this page pins the label v4.0.2, 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.
