Onboard a repository to skillsaw — run the linter, triage the findings by rule, apply autofixes, manually fix what remains, set up CI, and create a baseline. Use when adopting skillsaw on a new or existing project.

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

# skillsaw Onboard

Onboard this repository to **skillsaw**, a linter for agentic
contextual building blocks (CLAUDE.md, skills, plugins, agents, hooks, etc.).

## Workflow

Ask one routing question at a time and wait for the answer. An explicit choice
in the user's request already counts as an answer. Read a reference only after
its condition or a yes answer routes to it; do not read the reference to
formulate the question. After completing it, return here. If the answer is no,
continue to the next checkpoint without reading it. Carry forward the command
prefix, counts, choices, and changed-file list.

Resolve every `references/...` path relative to the directory containing this
`SKILL.md`, never relative to the target repository or the process's current
working directory. If this file was fetched from the web, resolve each
reference against the parent URL of this file and fetch it from that sibling
location.

Replace brace-delimited fields below with facts from the repository or scan;
never show placeholders to the user, and render singular or plural wording
naturally.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add stbenjam/skillsaw/skillsaw-onboard@sha256:2d1ade53428ddb4c

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, 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.
