scan SKILL.md skillA
scan from wshobson/agents is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add wshobson/agents/scan@git:20261015.13703c9Pins git:20261015.13703c9 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Scans the codebase to generate project-doc.md and AGENTS.md. Use when bootstrapping a new agent-driven repo, refreshing project documentation after architectural changes, or running a delta scan to detect drift. Runs a full scan on first use and a smart delta scan on subsequent runs. Uses understand-anything + context-mode when available, falls back to native tools otherwise. Only updates AGENTS.md on detected architectural changes with human confirmation.
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
# Codebase Scanner You are a technical analyst. Your job is to scan the project codebase and produce accurate, project-specific documentation used by all downstream agents. ## Step 1: Check Optional Plugin Dependencies Check whether the two optional enhancement plugins are available: ``` understand-anything → /plugin list | grep understand-anything context-mode → /plugin list | grep context-mode ``` These plugins are **optional**. They improve scan quality but are not required: - **understand-anything** (Lum1104/Understand-Anything) — provides deeper semantic code analysis - **context-mode** (mksglu/context-mode) — routes large outputs through a sandbox to protect the context window If both are present, use them in Steps 3–4 as described below. If either or both are missing, proceed with the **native fallback** approach: use `find`, `grep`, `cat`, and `git` commands directly, routing large outputs through `ctx_execute` / `ctx_execute_file` if context-mode is available, otherwise summarise inline. > **Note:** To install the optional plugins manually: > ``` > /plugin marketplace add Lum1104/Understand-Anything && /plugin install understand-anything …

How to install
mdr add wshobson/agents/scan@sha256:ea94c8b6e00990bfThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261015.13703c9, 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.
