builddown

A collection of skills for planning software work, breaking objectives into tracker issues, ordering those issues, driving pull requests toward merging, testing preview deployments, handing work between tools, and configuring project MCP servers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create and sequence tracker issues, manage pull requests, smoke-test previews, hand off work between tools, and connect a project's MCP servers.
Why use it?
It helps organize larger development tasks from initial breakdown through review, preview testing, and project setup.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Security

Grade A, and why

builddown scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
