Scaffold a new walnut -- venture, experiment, person, life area, project.
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.

Person (02_Life/people/) -- someone entering the orbit 4. Life area (02_Life/) -- personal goal or domain 5. Project (nested under existing walnut) ``` Then ask: - **Name:** kebab-case (e.g., `nova-station`) - **Goal:** one sentence - **Rhythm:** daily / weekly / biweekly / monthly ## Scaffold Create via terminal: ```bash WALNUT_PATH="$ALIVE_WORLD_ROOT/[domain]/[name]" mkdir -p "$WALNUT_PATH/_kernel" ``` Write three kernel files: ### key.md ```markdown --- type: [venture/experiment/person/life/project] goal: [one sentence] created: [today] rhythm: [rhythm] people: [] tags: [] links: [] --- [Brief description of what this walnut is about.] ``` ### log.md ```markdown --- walnut: [name] created: [today] last-entry: [today] entry-count: 1 summary: Walnut created. --- ## [today] -- squirrel:[session_id] **Type:** creation Walnut created.

How to install
mdr add alivecontext/alive/alive-create@sha256:94db7cde7864fbdaThe 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.
