Compile an Anthropic-style skill — a directory with a SKILL.md and optional references/ — into a deterministic, runnable workflow via the rote CLI. Use when the user says "compile this skill", "graduate this skill" (the retired name for the same operation), "make this skill deterministic", "make this skill faster/cheaper", "turn this skill into a workflow", "turn this skill into code", "harden this skill for production", or complains that a skill is slow, expensive, or unreliable as a…
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
# Compile a skill You orchestrate the `rote` CLI. It runs an LLM compiler agent over a source skill and emits a deterministic pipeline. Your job: resolve the inputs, run the CLI, then interpret the output for the user. You never classify nodes or write pipeline.yaml yourself — the CLI's agent does. ## 1. Identify the source skill The source is a **directory containing a `SKILL.md`** (optionally a `references/` folder). The user names it, or you infer it from context (a skill just discussed, a path in the conversation, `.claude/skills/*` or `skills/*` in the project). **Confirm the resolved absolute path with the user before running.** Compilation costs real time and tokens; never guess-and-go. If the directory has no `SKILL.md`, stop and ask. ## 2. Pick a runtime target Ask the user which runtime, with these tradeoffs (one line each): | Runtime | Choose when | Emits | |---|---|---| | `dbos` | No infra to run — durability lives in SQLite/Postgres, runs anywhere Python runs | Python | | `cloudflare` | You want serverless, fully managed execution on Cloudflare Workers | TypeScript | | `temporal` | You already operate (or want) a Temporal cluster | Python | …

How to install
mdr add trevhud/rote/compile@sha256:8b9f6c94e89fe91dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261018.2190c0b, 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.
