Run a short personal check-in that picks up where the last one left off, following up on what the user said they would do and recording what changed. Use when the user says good morning, asks for a check-in, or asks what they were working on.
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
# Check In A check-in is worth having only if it remembers the last one. This is the smallest skill in the pack that demonstrates the whole memory loop: recall commitments, ask about them, write back what you learn. ## Procedure 1. **Recall open commitments.** `recall(category="reminder", limit=20)` — the things the user said they would do and has not closed out. `reminder` is the category for todos; there is no `task` category, and passing one silently matches nothing. 2. **Recall recent context.** `search_past_conversations(days=7, limit=10)` for what has actually been going on. Use it to make the greeting specific. 3. **Open with one concrete follow-up**, not a generic greeting: > Yesterday you said you'd finish the pricing deck. How did that go? If memory is empty, say so plainly and ask what they are working on — a fabricated callback is far worse than admitting a blank slate. 4. **Ask at most three questions.** A check-in that turns into an interrogation stops getting answered. 5. **Write back what changed.** - Done → `update_memory(knowledge_id=..., content="... — completed <date>")` - Still open → leave it, but note the new expected date …

How to install
mdr add amd/gaia/check-in@sha256:b1fdcb71e466c9d8The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
