use-buf SKILL.md skillA

use-buf from moeru-ai/auv is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add moeru-ai/auv/use-buf@git:20260730.f97f55d

Pins git:20260730.f97f55d in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Configure, inspect, update, validate, and troubleshoot Buf workspaces and modules. Use when working with buf.yaml, buf.lock, buf.gen.yaml or domain-specific Buf generation templates; managing BSR dependencies; formatting, linting, generating, detecting breaking Protobuf changes; locating dependency schemas; or diagnosing missing types and generation failures.

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

# Use Buf

Use the Buf CLI as the source of truth for Protobuf compilation, dependency resolution, linting, breaking-change detection, and code generation.

## Inspect Before Changing

1. Read repository instructions.
2. Search the repository root and likely API directories for `buf.yaml`, `buf.lock`, `buf.gen.yaml`, and `buf.gen.<domain>.yaml` files.
3. Inspect the configuration version, module paths, dependency declarations, lint policy, breaking policy, inputs, plugin pins, output paths, and existing generation scripts.
4. Run `buf --version` and check repository/CI tool pins before using features from a newer configuration schema.
5. Diagnose configuration or dependency problems before changing `.proto` files to work around them.

Use one default `buf.gen.yaml`. Introduce `buf.gen.<domain>.yaml` only when generation products genuinely require isolated plugin sets, inputs, or outputs. Pass non-default templates explicitly with `buf generate --template <file>`.

## Keep Configuration Responsibilities Clear

- Use `buf.yaml` for workspaces/modules, BSR dependencies, lint rules, breaking rules, policies, and Buf check plugins.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add moeru-ai/auv/use-buf@sha256:b2a369e402952f56

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260730.f97f55d, 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.
