Session context loader. Reads the latest daily handoff to restore project context without redundant file exploration. Three-layer loading: CLAUDE.md (stable) → daily handoff (session state) → git verification (ground truth). Degrades to file exploration when no handoff exists. Read-side pair with project-scribe (scribe writes the daily, onboarding reads it).

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

# Project Onboarding
> Read the handoff. Don't re-explore what's already written down.
## Three-Layer Loading
Loading order optimized for KV cache (stable content first, volatile last):
### Layer 1: Meta-skill (rarely changes)
```bash
cat CLAUDE.md
```

Provides: how to work in this project, architecture, conventions.
### Layer 2: Session State (from latest daily file)
```bash
# Find the most recent daily file.
# Filter to dated filenames BEFORE sorting — never `ls daily/*.md | sort | tail -1`.
# That form answers a date question with lexicographic position and has returned
# README.md / _README.md twice (locale-dependent). See references/latest-daily-query.md.
ls daily/ 2>/dev/null | grep -E '^[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}\.md$' | sort | tail -1
# Read first section (## Session Handoff)
```

**Handoff is fresh if**: `git_commit` in handoff matches current HEAD and
date is recent (within 3 days).

**If fresh**: use handoff directly. Skip cortex/skills exploration.
**If stale or missing**: degrade to file exploration (see below).

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add lythos-labs/lythoskill/lythoskill-project-onboarding@sha256:e50525a70bca875c

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.21.0, 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.
