Personalize COG for your workflow - creates profile, interests, and watchlist files with guided setup (run this first!).
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
# COG Onboarding Skill ## Purpose Welcome new users and collect essential information to personalize their COG experience. All configuration is stored as natural markdown files within the vault structure, following COG's philosophy of transparent, editable knowledge. ## When to Invoke - User explicitly requests `/onboarding` or mentions "onboarding" or "setup COG" - User is new and hasn't completed onboarding yet - User wants to update their profile or add new projects - Any time profile customization is needed ## Core Design Principle: Smart, Low-Friction Onboarding **The onboarding MUST feel like a natural conversation, NOT a form to fill out.** Key rules: - **Ask open-ended questions, not option-pickers.** Never present numbered lists of choices for the user to pick from. - **Ask as few questions as possible.** Infer what you can from context and the user's natural responses. - **Never ask redundant questions.** If you can extract the answer from something the user already said, don't ask again. …

How to install
mdr add huytieu/cog-second-brain/onboarding@sha256:cc6b2497168b71ecThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260818.622a5e5, 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.
