Short router for runtime, lifecycle, identity, Agent/Project relocation, refresh transactions, presets, settings, update/mismatch diagnosis, LLM adapters, and operating procedures.

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

# System Manual — Task Router

`system-manual` routes System's lifecycle, identity, presets, settings, and peer
controls. Schema owns action names, fields, and types;
read one route below for unfamiliar or consequential work.

## Task routes

| Task | Read |
|---|---|
| Runtime/lifecycle, alarms, MCP, memory, presets, or peer recovery | [substrate manual](reference/substrate-manual/SKILL.md) |
| Action discipline, authorization, collaboration, or deliverables | [procedures manual](reference/procedures-manual/SKILL.md) |
| Any refresh transaction: same-runtime reload, preset swap/revert, source/venv cutover, or failure recovery | [refresh pre-check](reference/refresh-precheck/SKILL.md) |
| Update/source/install/nudge/mismatch diagnosis and cutover handoff, including `source_drift` | [runtime update checks](reference/runtime-update-checks/SKILL.md) |
| Settings and SHOW ownership | [settings inventory](reference/settings-inventory/SKILL.md) |
| Environment variables and runtime controls | [environment variables](reference/environment-variables/SKILL.md) |
| Provider transport and adapter behavior | [LLM adapters](reference/llm-adapters/SKILL.md) |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add lingtai-ai/lingtai-kernel/system-manual@sha256:1c937bddd972fe9c

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.25.0, 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.
