Trigger: new skills, agent instructions, documenting AI usage patterns. Create LLM-first skills with valid frontmatter.

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

## Activation Contract

Create a skill when:
- A pattern is used repeatedly and AI needs guidance
- Project-specific conventions differ from generic best practices
- Complex workflows need step-by-step instructions
- Decision trees help AI choose the right approach

Do not create a skill when the pattern is trivial, one-off, or better served by normal documentation.

## Hard Rules

- When working in this repo, first follow `docs/skill-style-guide.md` as the normative source before creating or updating skills.
- For installed global skills, use `references/skill-style-guide.md` as the bundled local copy of that guide when `docs/skill-style-guide.md` is unavailable.
- If neither guide is available, use the compact inline rules below.
- A skill is a runtime instruction contract for an LLM, not human documentation.
- Do not add a `Keywords` section; preserve essential trigger words in `description`.
- References must point to local files.
- Keep the skill body concise: target 180–450 tokens, recommended max 700, hard max 1000.

## Decision Gates

| Need | Action |
|------|--------|
| Code templates, schemas, fixtures, generated examples | Put them in `assets/` |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add gentleman-programming/gentle-ai/skill-creator@sha256:2e560aec25d3e6f8

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, 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.
