One-time Cairn adoption pipeline for a new 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
# Skill: cairn-adopt ## Host portability This skill is shared by Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex. Tool names in this file describe capabilities, not a required vendor API: - Resolve Cairn MCP tools with the host's native tool-discovery mechanism. `ToolSearch(...)` is the Claude Code spelling; Codex and Cursor use their equivalent discovery surface. - `AskUserQuestion` means the host's structured question UI. If unavailable, ask the same concise A/B/C question in chat and pause for the answer. - Named subagents live under `../../agents/`. Claude Code may dispatch them by name; other hosts read the matching brief and pass it to their native subagent tool. If the host has no subagent tool, execute the brief inline. You are guiding the operator through one-time Cairn adoption for the current project. Adoption is **visual, comprehensive, and one-time** — once finished, Cairn runs invisibly forever. Refer to `docs/PLUGIN_ARCHITECTURE.md` §6 for the canonical phase sequence. ## Step 0 — preload tools Open the skill with **one** `ToolSearch` call that batch-loads every deferred tool the loop needs. This avoids one round-trip per phase. …

How to install
mdr add isaacriehm/cairn/cairn-adopt@sha256:ea16d54a80471fdcThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260727.490969f, 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.
