api-surface-minimalism skillA

api-surface-minimalism is agent-read markdown (skill) from amey-thakur/ai-skills: Keep the public API small by defaulting to private visibility and retiring symbols through deprecation before deletion. Use when designing a module's exports or reviewing what a package exposes to callers..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

How to install

Latest version
mdr add amey-thakur/ai-skills/api-surface-minimalism@git:20260728.fac4544
Exact content
mdr add amey-thakur/ai-skills/api-surface-minimalism@sha256:3162a5cd951594da

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
