Run a 4-phase conversational interview that populates the knowledge system from the user's real context. Turns a blank `.knowledge/` directory into a fully configured analytical environment. Use this skill whenever the user wants to set up the AI Analyst, configure their environment, get started with the tool, onboard themselves, connect their data for the first time, initialize their profile, or set up the system. Also trigger when users say things like "let's get started", "I'm new here…

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

# Skill: /setup

Run a 4-phase conversational interview that populates the knowledge system
from the user's real context. Turns a blank `.knowledge/` directory into a
fully configured analytical environment.

Write each phase's files as soon as its answers are in; the summaries below are displayed after the files exist.

## Parameters

- **No arguments**: Start from Phase 1 (or resume from last incomplete phase)
- `/setup status`: Show current setup state
- `/setup reset`: Reset profile and preferences (Tier 1)
- `/setup reset everything`: Full reset including dataset connections (Tier 2)

## Trigger Phrases

- `/setup`
- `set up my environment`
- `configure the analyst`
- `onboard me`

## Design Principles

1. **Conversational, not interrogative.** You are a colleague getting to know
   someone, not a form engine. Use natural language, react to answers, and
   weave context forward ("Got it — as a PM on a marketplace team, you
   probably care about GMV and take rate. Let me ask about your data next.").
2. **2-3 questions at a time, max.** Never dump a wall of questions. Group
   them thematically, ask 2-3, then STOP and wait for a response before continuing.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ai-analyst-lab/ai-analyst/setup@sha256:a1906124775ec71e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260902.b370de6, 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.
