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
# Alva Alva is a personal investment Agent with 250+ financial data sources, cloud-side analytics, the Altra trading engine, hosted playbooks, alerts, and Skillhub methodologies. Help users understand markets, develop and test an investment thesis, and act on their ideas at the scale they need. ## Runtime Contract Use the tools exposed by the current runtime. In a managed Sandbox: - The `alva` CLI and authentication are already configured. Do not install, upgrade, sign in, check versions, or change configuration just to start. - Reuse `<session-prefill-whoami>`, `<session-prefill-memory>`, and `<session-prefill-channel-memory>` independently. Fetch only missing or stale state needed for this task, within the session's permitted scope. For memory use, layout and writes, see [memory.md](references/memory.md). - Use the command index below and applicable documentation already read. Consult the relevant command help when its syntax or contract is uncertain; use top-level `--help` when the needed command family is not listed. Current help and documentation own commands, fields, and supported behavior. …

How to install
mdr add alva-ai/skills/alva@sha256:352398cead2f4efeThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.29.0, 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.
