Answer questions about how to use octo, or diagnose something that isn't working, by reading the product documentation. Use when the user asks "how do I...", "what is...", "where is the docs for...", any usage/help question about octo itself, or reports a problem — "not working", "won't start", "error", "connection refused", "daemon won't start" — by reading TROUBLESHOOTING.md.
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
# Product Help — answer octo usage questions from documentation You have access to octo's product documentation. Use it to answer user questions accurately. Do not guess or hallucinate features. ## Documentation sources 1. **Bundled docs** — check the skill directory for reference files. Each is a concise, offline-readable summary; most end with a link to the fuller online guide for depth (exact schemas, edge cases, worked examples) — follow that link with `web_fetch` when the summary doesn't fully answer the question, rather than guessing at the missing detail. - `README.md` — quick start, installation, basic usage, feature overview - `CLI.md` — command reference (`octo`, `octo config`, `octo skills`, `octo workflows`, `octo browser`, etc.) - `CONFIG.md` — configuration file format and top-level fields - `SKILLS.md` — the default-skill mechanism (embedding, precedence, `octo skills`) and how to write your own - `WORKFLOW.md` — contributor development workflow for octo-agent's own codebase, git conventions, PR process (NOT the `octo workflows` product feature — see CLI.md for that) - `MCP.md` — MCP server configuration (`mcp.json`, OAuth, Tool Search) …

How to install
mdr add open-octo/octo-agent/product-help@sha256:9f9ff332e909d108The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260921.44682a6, 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.
