use-protobuf SKILL.md skillA
use-protobuf from moeru-ai/auv is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add moeru-ai/auv/use-protobuf@git:20260730.65b7f49Pins git:20260730.65b7f49 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Design, change, and review Protobuf schemas used as gRPC contracts, streaming protocols, typed data models, grpc-gateway REST APIs, OpenAPI specifications, or generated SDK inputs. Use for .proto files, RPC request/response design, oneof stream events, validation annotations, API versioning, schema evolution, generated package layout, and avoiding weak Struct or Any payloads.
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
# Use Protobuf Treat Protobuf as the canonical typed contract for gRPC, REST gateway bindings, OpenAPI, generated SDKs, and shared data structures. Model the domain before optimizing generated code. ## Workflow 1. Read repository instructions and inspect existing `.proto` files, packages, versions, imports, generation configuration, and generated output conventions. 2. Classify each service as gRPC-only or HTTP-exposed before adding annotations. 3. Model every RPC, stream packet, enum, error, and reusable message with concrete types. 4. Apply transport-specific validation and documentation rules. 5. Evaluate compatibility according to the package's release state and version. 6. Generate every configured SDK and OpenAPI artifact. Use `$use-buf` and `$use-buf-plugins` when available. 7. Run repository tests and inspect generated diffs; never hand-edit generated code. ## Define RPC Contracts Explicitly - Define a dedicated RPC method for every gRPC operation. - Name unary messages `MethodRequest` and `MethodResponse`. - Keep request and response messages distinct even when their current fields happen to match. …

How to install
mdr add moeru-ai/auv/use-protobuf@sha256:ad3662803871a62eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260730.65b7f49, 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.
