Jason's placement, invocation and metadata conventions for creating or editing skills.

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

# Skill creation conventions

- All skills live in `~/.claude/skills/` as `SKILL.md` files.
- Command skills (invoked explicitly) get `disable-model-invocation: true`; knowledge skills (always available for reference, never directly invoked) get `user-invocable: false`.
- Exception: a command skill may set `disable-model-invocation: false` when its `when_to_use` describes a moment Claude recognises before the user does (stale PR description, post-merge status drift, "add this to the roadmap" phrasing) **and** the skill contains its own approval gate before anything irreversible. The gate is the safety net; without one, keep it `true`.

## Where to create a skill

1. Always create in the project-local `.claude/skills/` directory unless explicitly told to create it globally.
2. Check for naming conflicts with personal-level skills (`~/.claude/skills/`); personal scope shadows project scope.
3. Use the new frontmatter convention below when creating or editing skills; recognise the old convention when reading existing skills.

## Metadata convention (current)

Model and taxonomy live in real frontmatter, never in the `description` text:

```yaml

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jasonwarrenuk/goblin-mode/Config: Skill Conventions@sha256:a80d0f1975b81fcc

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261009.23df28f, 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.
