Looks up Papyrus function, event and property signatures — parameter order, types, defaults, return type and flags — in a bundled offline corpus covering vanilla, SKSE and the shipped SKSE-plugin APIs (PapyrusUtil, JContainers, MCMHelper, po3, SkyUI). Use for any .psc read or edit, any added or changed function call, and for an unknown-identifier or type-mismatch compile error. Covers the API surface only — not reading a modlist's .psc source, not compiling it. A function the corpus does not…

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

# Papyrus Reference

## Overview

An offline corpus of Papyrus signatures — parameters in order, their types and defaults, return
types, flags and doc-comments — for vanilla scripts, SKSE's additions, and the SKSE-plugin APIs
this skill ships. It is generated from BellCube's
[papyrus-index](https://github.com/BellCubeDev/papyrus-index) and lives under `references/`.

The lookup itself is offline: the index and the reference files ship inside this skill.

This covers the **API surface**. Reading a modlist's actual `.psc` source is a file job (the winner
of its `Scripts\...` path, which for most framework scripts is inside an archive).

The corpus is the cheap route to a signature, not the only one and not the proof. The deterministic
check is the compile: it binds every call against the real sources on the import path, so a
signature it rejects is wrong whatever a lookup said, and one it accepts that the corpus lacks is a
corpus hole worth reporting. That is what stands behind "never invent a signature" — the corpus
gets you there in three greps instead of a build.

Invoked directly with a name, treat the argument as the function to look up.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add avick3110/housecarl/papyrus-reference@sha256:f1f17d9bcf30b4bc

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261103.a61e12e, 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.
