Use for non-failing HoloHub app work with ./holohub: scaffold, build, run, test, visual evidence, lint, and flow benchmarking.
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
# HoloHub application lifecycle ## Purpose Take a non-failing application request from checkout selection to reviewable, finite evidence through the public `./holohub` workflow. ## Inputs Require the task, checkout or starting workspace, and finite acceptance check. Take remaining values from the request or selected checkout; do not guess data rights or sensitive-data constraints. Benchmark details are optional unless performance work is requested. - a non-failing application task and its deliverable: application, operator-plus-demo, tutorial, or fix; - the starting workspace or an explicit HoloHub checkout; - language, mode, platform, input, and output requirements; - input origin and redistribution terms, including any private or sensitive data constraints; - a finite success condition and the evidence needed to support it. Route a concrete failing or wrong `./holohub` command to `holohub-debug-build-run`, reusable Module or DEB/WHEEL work to `holohub-module-lifecycle`, and first-time SDK host installation to `holoscan-setup`. If the matching skill is unavailable, preserve the handoff context and name the skill to install instead of improvising its workflow. …

How to install
mdr add nvidia/skills/holohub-app-lifecycle@sha256:5b7c7a5b91610926The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260807.0bab109, 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.
