Configure or reconcile a project for linked-intent development (LID). Dispatches on project state — fresh bootstrap, append directives to an existing agent-instructions file (AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md), add missing mode marker, reconcile convention drift, or run mode transitions. Invoked as /update-lid. For fresh projects with no LID artifacts, users typically invoke /linked-intent-dev (the workflow skill) instead and the workflow's Phase 1 calls this skill's bootstrap branch.

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

# update-lid

Configure or reconcile a project for linked-intent development. Dispatches on project state — do not re-run unconditionally.

Invoked as `/update-lid`. The skill handles both initial bootstrap and ongoing reconciliation; the user's mental model differs ("set me up" vs. "update what we have") but the behavior dispatches on what's detected in the project, not on the user's framing.

## Instruction-file anchor

LID's directives, the `## LID` block, and the navigation table live in the project's **agent-instructions file**. Canonically that is **`AGENTS.md`** (the cross-tool convention Cursor and most agents read), with **`CLAUDE.md` a symlink alias** so Claude Code sees the same content. Never branch on which host you are running under.

- **Read** (detect directives, mode, version, drift): use `AGENTS.md` if it exists, otherwise `CLAUDE.md`. With the symlink the two are one file.
- **Fresh bootstrap (write)**: create `AGENTS.md` and a `CLAUDE.md` symlink pointing at it (`ln -s AGENTS.md CLAUDE.md`). Where symlinks are unavailable (e.g. Windows without Developer Mode), instead write a `CLAUDE.md` whose only content is `@AGENTS.md`.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jszmajda/lid/update-lid@sha256:c47475501afeead6

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261010.a1bb965, 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.
