Show one settled thing so the user holds it. Use when the user does not hold something already settled.

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

Explain only what the user has said or shown they don't hold, and only from what you have read: retrieve it first, explain what it holds, and name what it leaves out as a gap. Nothing in reach holds it → name what's missing, ask for it, and wait.

Answer in the fewest small views that make the key point, each under its own one-line caption, in the shape the parts already have: code that runs as a call tree of its function names, logic as pseudocode, UI as a component tree, files as a file tree, a change as a `diff` on that view, anything else as a tree, numbered steps or a table. Put each view but a table in a code fence tagged with its language — `diff`, `tsx`, `text` — so the terminal colors it. A line holds a name from the source, with a `# few words` comment at most. Mark undecided parts `[open]`. Then wait.

Each pull — a question, a ruling, an "I still don't get it" — is answered the same way, on the pulled part alone. "I still don't get it" means the view was wrong: change the view, never add words.

It ends when the user says it back in their own words or acts on it — claim it landed only then — or moves on, where the answer stands as given.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add saadshahd/moo.md/explain@sha256:489d1776dfa99ffe

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261031.143478c, 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.
