bootstrap is agent-read markdown (skill) from lstr-1/skills: Use this skill when scaffolding the minimum repository structure required by session-orchestrator. Invoked automatically by the Bootstrap Gate when CLAUDE.md, Session Config, or bootstrap.lock is missing. Also available as /bootstrap for manual invocation. Three intensity tiers: fast (demos/spikes), standard (MVPs), deep (production/team)..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
What the file says
# Bootstrap Skill
## Overview
This skill runs when the Bootstrap Gate is closed (missing CLAUDE.md, Session Config, or `.orchestrator/bootstrap.lock`) or when the user invokes `/bootstrap` directly. It scaffolds the minimum structure required by all session-orchestrator skills, commits it, and writes the lock file that opens the gate for all future invocations.
**Anti-bureaucracy contract:** At most ONE `AskUserQuestion` call in the normal case (tier confirmation). A second question is only asked when the archetype is truly ambiguous on the Public Path for Standard/Deep tiers. No wizard, no multi-step flow.
## Invocation Context
Before starting, determine how this skill was invoked:
- **Transitive (gate-closed):** Invoked from another skill's Phase 0. The user's original intent (their first prompt) is available in context. After bootstrap completes, execution must return to the original skill's Phase 1.
- **Direct (`/bootstrap`):** User invoked manually. Parse `$ARGUMENTS` for flags: `--fast`, `--standard`, `--deep`, `--upgrade <tier>`, `--retroactive`. See `commands/bootstrap.md` for flag semantics.
Store `INVOCATION_MODE = transitive | direct`.

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
