How to author and publish agent skills for the skills.sh / `npx skills` ecosystem — the SKILL.md format, why the frontmatter description is the trigger, multi-skill repo layout, the `skills` CLI (init/add/list/find/update/remove with flags), publishing to GitHub with SEO metadata, and public vs private repos (it git-clones, so private works with auth). Use when asked to "create/write/author a skill", "publish a skill", "set up a skills repo", "make a skill installable/discoverable…
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-publishing How to write a good agent skill and publish it so others (and your other machines) can install it with `npx skills`. ## What a skill is Reusable, **on-demand context** for an AI coding agent. One skill = one folder with a `SKILL.md`: ```markdown --- name: my-skill # kebab-case, matches the folder description: <one line> # the TRIGGER — see below; most important field metadata: author: you version: "1.0.0" # semver; bump on meaningful change --- # Title <the body the agent loads only when this skill fires> ``` **Context economy:** only the `description` of every installed skill stays in the agent's context. The body loads **only when the description matches** the task. That's the whole design — so the description does the heavy lifting. ## The `description` is the trigger (get this right) Write it as **concrete triggers**: what it does, then "Use when …" listing symptoms, situations, and phrases a user might actually say. - Good: `…Use when an iPhone page shows black bars, content is cut off at the bar edge, a cropped shadow, or the page jumps after the keyboard closes.` - Bad: `Helps with iOS Safari styling.` …

How to install
mdr add stealth-factory/skills/skill-publishing@sha256:21a03abf352f44afThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.2.2, 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.
