Adapts the YesYak process to a project or a person without editing any skill. It detects what the project already has, asks only what is missing, and after a preview and a yes writes adjustments (add, replace, off) to .agents/yesyak.json or ~/.agents/yesyak.json and a short YesYak block between markers in AGENTS.md that tells every agent to apply them. Use it on the first install of the skills in a project, and whenever the user wants another process, for example "use my spec template…

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

# Customize Yak

A person changes the process here, not in the skills. No skill checks its own adjustments. The YesYak block of AGENTS.md tells the agent to apply them.

## 1. Detect before asking

Read before you ask. Show what you detected in one table and do not ask for it again.

| Detect | Where |
| --- | --- |
| The full check: tests, and lint, format and type checks if the project has them | `package.json` scripts, `Makefile` targets, `pyproject.toml`, `Cargo.toml`, `go.mod`, `composer.json`, CI workflow files, check scripts in the root |
| Working files ignored | `.scratchpad/` in `.gitignore` |
| Docs folders and their language | `docs/`, `docs/decisions/`, README; without docs, the language of AGENTS.md |
| The commit convention | AGENTS.md or contributing docs first; otherwise the last 20 commit subjects (`git log --format=%s -20`) |
| Whether the project keeps decision records | a decisions folder or ADR files; if there is none, ask once whether to keep them (`decision-record-log` can be `off`) |
| Current adjustments and pilot profile | `.agents/yesyak.json` and `~/.agents/yesyak.json` |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add webreactiva/yesyak/customize-yak@sha256:54abd91050e9d243

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261031.1bf6fd8, 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.
