docs-compact SKILL.md skillA
docs-compact from baristaze/swe_guidelines is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add baristaze/swe_guidelines/docs-compact@git:20261015.a329574Pins git:20261015.a329574 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Compact the tree's documents to what holds at the head of the main branch: rewrite each ADR to its present decision with a status of one date, remove the ADRs that constrain nothing, cut the changelog to the latest release, clean the rows of specs/architecture.md, and rewrite the comments that tell what the code did before. With --migrations, fold the revisions each role's chain owns into one revision under the head's revision id, shown equal by a schema dump; in a copy or a layer, on its…
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
# docs-compact
A document an agent reads says what holds at the head of the main
branch, in the present tense: a README, an ADR, a spec, a comment. What
was stays in git, the pull request, and the release notes (the
guideline's Documentation as Code). An agent acts on what it reads, so
text that also carries what was makes it sort the adopted from the
rejected before it acts. This skill cuts the tree's documents back to
what holds.
One test decides a rejected option. Could a reader at the head reach it
without knowing the past? A simpler design, a library's default, the
obvious other way: yes, so it stays as one sentence in the Decision, as
the rule's near miss with its reason ("a lock bound, never a statement
deadline: a long backfill would fail for running"). A former value, or
an option only the history explains: no, so it goes.
## Input
`[--migrations]`
Without the flag the skill rewrites text only, and never opens
`om/migrations/`: a search lists lines of it, as step 6's does, and no
file there is read whole or changed. With it, it also folds the
revisions each role's chain owns into one revision, as step 7 says:
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add baristaze/swe_guidelines/docs-compact@sha256:b78e79f399592ff6The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261015.a329574, 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.
