Help with Berd the desktop app: how-to, troubleshooting, settings, agents, skills, automations, projects, sessions, providers, connections, feedback, or berdctl. Use for app questions, not harness-specific behavior.
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
# Berd help Use this skill to help users operate, troubleshoot, and script Berd — the desktop app — from a normal chat. Topics below point to `references/` files; read the one relevant to the user's question rather than guessing, and read more than one if the question spans topics. ## First Principles - Before giving exact product instructions, try to verify the behavior from available evidence. If source code is available, inspect it first. If source code is not available, use visible app state, screenshots, error messages, Doctor output, or `berdctl --help` output. - Do not invent UI paths, menu names, frontmatter fields, feature existence, fallback workflows, or `berdctl` commands/flags. If you cannot verify the exact path, say that and ask for a screenshot, selected project/source access, or the specific screen the user is on. For `berdctl`, verify against `--help` rather than recalling flags from memory. - Treat the current app behavior as the source of truth. Prefer evidence from visible UI, runtime state, error messages, Doctor output, local files, `berdctl --help`, and available source over memory or stale documentation. …

How to install
mdr add block/berd/berd-help@sha256:fa419b0a14a4bda0The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260812.9b88cac, 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.
