Show a Magpie welcome guide on demand: the general one with no argument, or a skill family's by name. Also turns a guide back on after it was dismissed or hidden. Read-only apart from that.
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.

# setup-welcome-guide
Every Magpie skill's pre-flight shows a short welcome guide the first time it is due:
the general guide on the first Magpie skill a user runs, and a family's guide on the first run of that family.
This skill shows any of them on request, and brings back one the user dismissed or hid.
The guides live in the pre-flight checker,
[`setup_preflight/guides/`](../setup/setup_preflight/guides/), one Markdown file each;
this skill adds no logic of its own and only runs the checker's `welcome` command.

How to install
mdr add apache/magpie/welcome-guide@sha256:a813c6b83ec8849eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261027.5395957, 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.
