Generate an interactive script that walks a human, step by step, through a manual procedure only they can perform. Use when provisioning infrastructure, setting up credentials or CI secrets, navigating an unfamiliar third-party dashboard, or running a one-off migration or cutover that needs a human's hands or authority at each step.
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.

# Wizard
A step a human must perform manually is exactly the kind of task an SOP (standard operating procedure) exists to make consistent: detailed, sequential instructions so the task comes out the same way regardless of who runs it or how many times it's been explained before. This skill's defining constraint: a wizard only contains steps genuinely gated on human authority or judgment; anything the agent can do itself belongs in the agent's own work, not in a script that stops to ask a human to do it.
## Phase 1: Scope to human-only steps
Before writing anything, separate the procedure into what the agent can do directly and what actually requires a human: clicking through a third-party dashboard with no API, entering credentials only the human holds, or confirming an action with real-world consequence (a production cutover, an irreversible migration step). Only the second category belongs in the wizard. A wizard padded with steps the agent could have just done is friction added for no reason; it exists specifically for the steps that can't be delegated.
## Phase 2: One verifiable action per step

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260809.2a45dbb, 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.
A 17 of 17 checks passed. Fixed automatic checks with no AI involved, so the same checks give the same answer every run.
