grind SKILL.md skillA

This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.

grind from talos-hq/clud is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add talos-hq/clud/grind@git:20261031.8ef8d1b

Work through a list of goals (a meta issue, issue list, free-form goal, or the repo's issues page) to merged PRs: plan, write, review, integrate and land, in parallel worktrees, sequentially in the local checkout, or one issue per /loop tick. Router for the grind-* skills and the bundled grind workflow.

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

<!-- managed-by: clud -->

!`clud grind-scripts`

The line above lists the repository's `./lint` and `./test` scripts and the
files they delegate to. If it still shows a command instead of that report
(the harness did not run it, or `clud` is missing), run `clud grind-scripts`
yourself from the repository root. If that fails too, treat the repository as
having no scripts and skip the scripts question.

# /grind

Before intake or any checkout mutation, run `clud claim acquire` in the
current checkout. If the daemon is unavailable or another session holds the
claim, stop and offer a new worktree or a retry after the claim releases.

Router for the grind DAG. It gathers every answer up front, then hands the
deterministic part to the bundled `grind-run` workflow.

```
/grind ─ intake ─ orchestrator + graph approval ─ classify (plan-only) ─ preflight ─ configuration ─ prework ─┬─ parallel   ─┐
                                                                                          ├─ sequential ─┼─ workflow grind-run: plan → work → review → integrate → land ─ finish

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add talos-hq/clud/grind@sha256:a347a86f3a7e6e1c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261031.8ef8d1b, 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.
