Evaluate, categorize, and document new Pi-hole blocklist sources for the curated blocklist repository. Always trigger immediately when the user asks about adding, evaluating, or researching a new Pi-hole blocklist source, or uses phrases like "should I add this list", "evaluate this blocklist", "add to pihole", "new blocklist", "is this a good list", or pastes a raw blocklist URL. Also trigger when the user wants to review existing sources, update the repo README, check for list overlap, or…

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

# Pi-hole Blocklist Skill

## Intent

Evaluate Pi-hole blocklist sources for category fit, source quality, format compatibility, and practical allow/block risk.

## Use When

- The user explicitly asks for `pihole-blocklist`.
- The request matches the triggers or workflow described below.
- The task benefits from a reusable, structured output instead of a one-off answer.

## Do Not Use When

- Do not use for general DNS troubleshooting, router configuration, or blindly adding lists without source and risk review.
- Required context is missing and cannot be reasonably inferred.
- A more specific skill in this repo is a better match.

## Workflow

1. Identify the exact task and available source material.
2. Apply the domain rules and output format in this skill.
3. State assumptions, uncertainty, and missing inputs clearly.
4. Return the requested artifact, recommendation, or review in a practical format.
5. Check the result against the validation checklist before finishing.

## Constraints

- Do not fabricate missing facts, measurements, dates, sources, or user context.
- Keep output aligned with Mick's direct, practical communication style unless the skill says otherwise.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add mickpletcher/ai-skills/pihole-blocklist@sha256:ab1c770756b8aae7

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.0, 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.
