Move a copy of the scaffold, or a layer whose own scaffold builds on it, to a later release by merging it. The scaffold branch holds the scaffold as the repository took it, and a three-way merge brings in what changed since. The first run grafts a base at the release the repository pins, or takes a layer's first scaffold.
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
# arch-upgrade-scaffold A path that starts with `../` is read from this skill's folder as `realpath` resolves it. A copy of the scaffold keeps its base in git. Its `scaffold` branch holds the scaffold as the copy took it: each commit there is the scaffold at one commit of its source, renamed to the copy's name by that commit's own `new.py`, and its parent is the render before it. `../../scaffold/base.py` writes those commits; its docstring holds the details. The copy's main branch merges the `scaffold` branch, so the render it merged last is the merge base of the next move. `git merge scaffold` then brings in what the scaffold changed since, three ways, and keeps what the copy changed. A layer is a repository whose own scaffold builds on its source's. It holds the source's `scaffold/` folder at `scaffold/`, under the name `acme`, and changes and adds to it there. A product is copied from a layer as it is from this guideline. A layer takes its source's `scaffold/` folder unchanged: each commit on its `scaffold` branch is that folder at one commit of the source, written by `base.py --layer`, and the layer merges the branch as a copy does. The source of a copy or …

How to install
mdr add baristaze/swe_guidelines/arch-upgrade-scaffold@sha256:42a1caa96b21a1d1The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261015.a329574, 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.
