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

> **DEPRECATED** — Modern Claude models produce accurate, well-explained regex patterns
> with edge-case test suites natively, including multi-language usage examples. The uplift
> delta from this skill approaches zero. Retained for archival reference only.

# Regex Builder

Transforms matching requirements (positive and negative examples) into tested regex
patterns with component-by-component explanations, capture group documentation, edge
case identification, and ready-to-use code in Python and JavaScript.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add mathews-tom/armory/regex-builder@sha256:9061a38bc9019b58

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.1, 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.
