Build a new skill from the template, then check and test it; or repair the form of an existing skill without changing what it says. Use when the user asks to create, write or scaffold a skill (a domain-* skill of the company included), to check or test a skill, or to repair a skill or bring it to the template. Keywords: new skill, SKILL.md, domain skill, skill check, skill trigger, repair skill.
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
# Build a new skill Build a skill from the template, check its form and test that it loads. ## On the board To show the new skill on the board, add the `board-*` keys to its frontmatter: see "Showing a skill on the board" in `docs/10-skills.md`. ## When to Use This Skill - The user asks to create a new skill, or a `domain-*` skill for a company. - The user asks to check or test a skill that exists. - The user asks to repair a skill, or to bring it to the template: follow [repair.md](./references/repair.md) instead of the steps below. **Who starts it: auto**, when the user asks for a new skill or for a check of one. ## Prerequisites - The short command `harness` works (step 5 uses it).

Write `SKILL.md` frontmatter based on [Frontmatter Template](./templates/frontmatter_template.md) 3. Write `SKILL.md` core content scaffold based on [Content Template](./templates/content_template.md) …

How to install
mdr add smars-bin-hu/copilot-agentic-harness/generic-build-new-skill@sha256:03a9ce4a0121e16aThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261102.d95f023, 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.
