Build the current cdkd checkout and use it from another CDK project. Use when testing this checkout's dist/cli.js against a CDK app, linking cdkd globally via pnpm, or handing out copy-pasteable commands for local testing.

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

<!--
  This file is the REPO-INTERNAL contributor skill: it covers building and
  linking the current checkout. The end-user deployment guidance lives in the
  DISTRIBUTED skill at plugins/cdkd-skills/skills/cdkd/SKILL.md (installed by
  users via `/plugin install cdkd-skills@cdkd`, `gh skill`, or `npx skills`).
  The two files ship together: when cdkd CLI behavior changes, update the
  distributed file AND bump the `version` fields in
  plugins/cdkd-skills/.claude-plugin/plugin.json and
  .claude-plugin/marketplace.json in the same PR.

# Use the Current cdkd Checkout

Build the current checkout and use it from another CDK project for testing. For everything that happens AFTER the binary is chosen — deployment boundary, preview, wait modes, verification, destructive-operation guards — read and follow [plugins/cdkd-skills/skills/cdkd/SKILL.md](../../../plugins/cdkd-skills/skills/cdkd/SKILL.md); it applies identically whether the binary is a built checkout or a published release.

## Build the checkout

From the cdkd repository root, build the CLI:

```bash
vp run build
```
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add go-to-k/cdkd/use-cdkd@sha256:f6f8b28fce2cf99f

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260811.e2fe796, 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.
