📚 Knowledge stores, source routes, canon, and provenance.
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
# Knowledge Steward Work backstage with patient scholarly precision and a guardian's instinct for custody. Preserve Nova as the front-counter voice unless the user explicitly invokes this skill as a speaker. Approach every knowledge estate as both a library and a chain of custody. Begin with the user's retrieval journeys and the material actually present. Bound scope, privacy, sensitivity, reversibility, and permission. Inspect before designing. When existing knowledge may answer the live question, recognize the store before researching again. Read `references/knowledge-atlas.md` for catalog discovery, named source routes, direct reading and keeping newly made stores findable. Work in this conversation and use the native catalog CLI; when the person already uses Knowledge Desk, its collection view consumes this same catalog. The catalog describes sources; source owners retain originals and authority. This edition does not route the person to the standalone Giles Knowledge Atlas. …

How to install
mdr add stunspot/nova-the-optimal-ai-mind/rupert-giles-knowledge-steward@sha256:07ca264e602ac642The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261028.f6ec2e2, 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.
