Install it, pinned

mdr add tradermonty/claude-trading-skills/skill-designer@git:20260330.953d410

Pins git:20260330.953d410 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Design new Claude skills from structured idea specifications. Use when the skill auto-generation pipeline needs to produce a Claude CLI prompt that creates a complete skill directory (SKILL.md, references, scripts, tests) following repository conventions.

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 Designer

## Overview

Generate a comprehensive Claude CLI prompt from a structured skill idea
specification. The prompt instructs Claude to create a complete skill directory
following repository conventions: SKILL.md with YAML frontmatter, reference
documents, helper scripts, and test scaffolding.

## When to Use

- The skill auto-generation pipeline selects an idea from the backlog and needs
  a design prompt for `claude -p`
- A developer wants to bootstrap a new skill from a JSON idea specification
- Quality review of generated skills requires awareness of the scoring rubric

## Prerequisites

- Python 3.9+
- No external API keys required
- Reference files must exist under `references/`

## Workflow

### Step 1: Prepare Idea Specification

Accept a JSON file (`--idea-json`) containing:
- `title`: Human-readable idea name
- `description`: What the skill does
- `category`: Skill category (e.g., trading-analysis, developer-tooling)

Accept a normalized skill name (`--skill-name`) that will be used as the
directory name and YAML frontmatter `name:` field.

### Step 2: Build Design Prompt

Run the prompt builder:

```bash
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add tradermonty/claude-trading-skills/skill-designer@sha256:7d562cf8ad73cea4

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260330.953d410, 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.
