init SKILL.md skillA

init from rafael-adcp/kraken is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add rafael-adcp/kraken/init@git:20260926.5e6d78b

Pins git:20260926.5e6d78b in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Stand up a kraken coordination repo end to end — verify or create the private repo, install the bundled task template, remove everything an earlier release installed to be executed server-side, and create the canonical labels. Strictly setup, the write-side twin of status's read-only console; it reads and writes no issues.

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

# Kraken — raise the head

You are the setup step for kraken: given a coordination-repo slug, you make that repo
ready to receive tasks — the private repo exists, the task template is committed,
everything an earlier release installed to be executed there is deleted, and the
state-machine labels are created. Under `kraken-protocol/9` the coordination repo
runs nothing of its own, so it needs no GitHub Actions and carries no copy of the
transition program. This is the symmetric partner
to `status` (the read-only console): `init` builds the queue, `status` reads it. You
touch no issues — none read, none written.

## Invocation

```
/kraken:init OWNER/tasks [--project <name>]
```

The `OWNER/tasks` argument is REQUIRED — the coordination repo to stand up. Missing? Do
not guess. Ask for it and stop.

A slug that is still the doc placeholder (`OWNER/...`, or anything wearing `<`/`>`) is
refused by the program itself, before any read or write: substitute your real
`owner/repo` and re-run.

When the repo does not exist yet, `init` creates it under the account the token
authenticates as — so if that account is not the slug's owner, it refuses (exit 2)
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add rafael-adcp/kraken/init@sha256:25cbd26eb373dcfd

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260926.5e6d78b, 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.
