coding from amd/gaia is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add amd/gaia/coding@v0.2.1Pins v0.2.1 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Work on a codebase — read, search, edit and verify source files. Use when the user asks to fix a bug, add a feature, refactor, explain code, make a test pass, or change anything in a repository. Covers finding the right file, editing safely, and proving the change works before reporting it.
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
# Coding Changing code is different from answering a question: you can be *confidently wrong for hours* because the answer looked plausible. Everything below exists to close that gap. ## Find the code before you change it You have two searches and they answer different questions: - **`search_file_content`** — grep. Use it when you know the string: a function name, an error message, a config key. Fastest way to find every call site. - **`search_code_index`** — semantic. Use it when you know the *behaviour* but not the name: "where do we decide which model to load". Run `index_codebase` once for the repo first; `get_index_status` says whether it is ready. Grep first when you have an exact token — it is instant and exhaustive. Reach for the semantic index when grep returns nothing useful because you are guessing at names. ## Read the file before you edit it Not the top of it — use `read_file` on the part you are changing, plus enough around it to see what else depends on it. An edit written from memory of a similar file is how you delete someone's special case. `edit_file` replaces an exact string. If it fails, the file is not what you …

How to install
mdr add amd/gaia/coding@sha256:6574f267eb4ab953The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.2.1, 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.
