setup SKILL.md skillA

setup from fcakyon/labrat is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add fcakyon/labrat/setup@git:20261030.b34f8aa

Pins git:20261030.b34f8aa in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

30-second auto-detection tour, then optional configuration of notifications, CLI allowlist, research CLAUDE.md rules, and LaTeX environment. Use when the user runs /labrat:setup.

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

# Lab Rat Setup

The plugin works correctly the moment it is installed. Most users never need to run setup. This skill exists to (1) show what was auto-detected on the user's system, and (2) let users opt into a few extras (notifications, allowlist, project CLAUDE.md, LaTeX).

## Step 0: Auto-detection tour (always run first)

Before asking any questions, print what the plugin already knows. No prompts, no decisions, just visibility.

Run these probes silently and present the results:

```bash
# Last few long-job launches the plugin would have flagged
recent_launches=$(history 200 2> /dev/null | grep -E '(python.*train|accelerate launch|torchrun|deepspeed|sbatch|tmux.*python)' | tail -5)

# What the agentic Stop hook would orient on for this project
project_orientation=""
[ -f README.md ] && project_orientation+="README.md found  "
[ -f CLAUDE.md ] && project_orientation+="CLAUDE.md found  "
[ -f .claude/CLAUDE.md ] && project_orientation+=".claude/CLAUDE.md found  "
[ -f AGENTS.md ] && project_orientation+="AGENTS.md found  "
```

Then present:

```
Lab Rat auto-detected the following:

Recent launches:    <count> training-job patterns in shell history

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add fcakyon/labrat/setup@sha256:32123e47f1f2cfcd

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261030.b34f8aa, 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.
