Use when the user wants to inspect, list, extract, unpack, or repack Bethesda BA2/BSA archives; determine archive format/version/compression; or build archive assets for an MO2 overlay. Triggers - "unpack BA2", "extract BSA", "pack archive", "inspect archive", "bgs-archive".
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
# Using bgs-archive `bgs-archive` is the agent-native CLI for Bethesda BA2/BSA archives. It detects archive family/version, lists entries, extracts assets, and packs supported BSA/BA2 outputs for MO2 overlay workflows. Use this skill for: - unpacking or extracting BA2/BSA assets; - repacking supported BA2/BSA archives; - inspecting archive contents, format, version, compression, or entry counts; - preparing packed assets for a mod overlay. Do not use it for plugin records (`.esp/.esm/.esl`) or load-order edits. Route those through xEdit / load-order skills. ## Prerequisites — capability discovery first Always query the live binary before choosing a game, format, or packing path: ```powershell bgs-archive --json capabilities # Alias: bgs-archive --json caps ``` Read the JSON envelope and branch on `data.write_support` and `data.read_support`. Do not assume DX10 or GNMF packing exists just because DX10/GNMF extraction works. If `bgs-archive` is not on PATH, locate the GitHub Release-installed binary under: ```text ~/.bgs-modding-superpowers/tools/bgs-archive/<version>/ ``` or build from the source tree: ```powershell cd D:\awesome-bgs-mod-master\tools\bgs-archive …

How to install
mdr add hashgraph-online/awesome-codex-plugins/using-bgs-archive@sha256:9c867fa43568d2b8The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260702.022cc5f, 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.
