Configure aria-cowork on first run or after updates. Verifies your knowledge folder is reachable from this Cowork session, guides you through adding it to claude_desktop_config.json for persistent multi-session access if needed, scaffolds the folder structure, and writes the canonical aria-config.md. Safe to re-run anytime — only touches what.
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
# /aria-setup — aria-cowork Configuration
Verify the knowledge folder is reachable, guide setup if it isn't, and scaffold structure. Safe to re-run anytime.
## Step 0: Read installed plugin version
**Read the installed plugin version first.** Parse `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/.claude-plugin/plugin.json` and extract the `version` field. Hold it as `INSTALLED_VERSION` for use in Step 5 (config write) and Step 6 (summary). Use grep + sed to stay consistent with the no-jq invariant aria-knowledge's hook scripts follow:
```bash
INSTALLED_VERSION=$(grep '"version"' "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/.claude-plugin/plugin.json" | head -1 | sed 's/.*"version": *"\([^"]*\)".*/\1/')
```
All references to the version below use `{INSTALLED_VERSION}` as a substitution placeholder — the agent expands it from the captured value at runtime, so the skill body doesn't need editing per release.
## Step 1: Determine the knowledge folder path
aria-cowork v{INSTALLED_VERSION} uses a **default-path convention**: the knowledge folder is `~/Projects/knowledge/` (expand `~` to the user's home directory at runtime, producing an absolute path like `/Users/<user>/Projects/knowledge`).
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add mikeprasad/aria-knowledge/aria-setup@sha256:2e2dc0a397ff4c67The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.e0f7288, 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.
