reboot from tonydzi/second-brain-starter-kit is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Reboot a fleet node safely by one protocol: pre-flight (save state, finish syncing, warn peers, verify autostart is armed), then a full restart rather than a fast-startup hybrid, then a post-reboot check through the crash-recovery skill. Triggers: "/reboot", "restart this machine".
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
# /reboot — a controlled restart of a fleet node
**The pain:** rebooting blind = a lost unsynced file (sync-conflict), a false SEV1 alarm from the
peer watchdogs ("the node is dead!"), a robot that never came back after boot, and — as with the
HP Wolf driver on 2026-07-24 — "I rebooted and the driver is still in memory", because Fast Startup
does not clear RAM on an ordinary shutdown.
Reboot ONLY when: (a) there is a reason (evict a hook/driver from RAM, apply an update, unstick
something), and (b) autostart is armed → the machine will come back on its own.
## STEP 1 — PRE-FLIGHT (before the reboot, in order)
1. **Reason + confirmation.** One line: why the reboot and what it fixes. If it is risky
(away-mode, a machine without auto-login, FileVault/BitLocker with a manual password at boot) → ask the operator first.
2. **Save state.** The TurnState black box writes on every turn by itself (it survives the reboot → /1 will bring it back).
Any active uncommitted work in code or the vault → commit/save it now.
3. **Finish the Syncthing sync** (otherwise: loss/conflict). Wait for `need=0` on every share:
```bash
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add tonydzi/second-brain-starter-kit/reboot@sha256:d1565604cbe57da7The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261007.cd6c208, 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.
