Applies this repository's skill-authoring standard as a procedure. Use for any change to, or judgment about, a file under skills/** — a SKILL.md, a reference, a persona prompt, a bundled script's instructions: creating a skill, editing one, reviewing a skill change, or acting on review feedback (human or bot) about one. Not for src/, tests/, or scripts/ code.

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

# CE Skill Work

Skills in this repository are goals, not state machines. A skill hands the agent the goal, the done condition, the safe failure direction, and the facts it cannot derive from the repo in front of it, then gets out of the way. Everything this skill does — authoring, editing, reviewing, responding to review — is that one standard applied to a different starting state.

**Outcome:** the skill files you touch state their conditions rather than enumerate cases, carry nothing that does not change behavior, and put each mechanism at the layer that owns it; and the change is validated in the way its risk warrants.

**Done:** the mode's completion report is written and its validation ran (or the exact skip reason is recorded). Landing a sentence is not done; a demonstrated gap closed at its owning layer by the smallest mechanism is.

**Non-goal:** shorter files. Leanness is a side effect of stating conditions; report what changed, not word counts.

## The standard (read before any mode)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add everyinc/compound-engineering-plugin/ce-skill-work@sha256:e107c22fc2d921ed

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261005.030188b, 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.
