Generates or updates a project's HOW-TO-RUN.md — one verified document teaching a new developer to set up their environment and run the project locally. Detects toolchain, source dependencies, external services, and env config via a read-only agent; audits an existing file against actual project state and offers a display-only guided walkthrough. Never runs setup commands; writes only HOW-TO-RUN.md.

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

# How to Run

Generate or update `HOW-TO-RUN.md` at the project (or workspace) root: OS/hardware prerequisites, toolchain and SDKs, source dependencies, install, external services, env config, build, run, and tests — every fact verified against the actual codebase.

**Write scope:** the only file this skill ever creates or modifies is `HOW-TO-RUN.md`. It never touches `README.md`, `CONTRIBUTING.md`, `BUILDING.md`, `INSTALL.md`, `docs/*`, or any other file — not even to add a link. Existing docs are input-only hypotheses. Read-only detection commands are permitted. The guided walkthrough (Step 3a) is display-only; the user runs every setup step locally.

## Step 1: Detect project context (agent)

Read `$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/skills/how-to-run/agents/project-environment-detector.md` and `$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/skills/how-to-run/agents/shared-constraints.md`. Launch 1 `general-purpose` Agent tool call whose prompt is, in order: the **Agent Constraints** section of `$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/references/shared-agent-constraints.md`, the shared-constraints file, the contents of `$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/skills/init/references/tech-stack-detection.md`, and the detector prompt. Assemble the prompt per…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add oprogramadorreal/optimus-claude/how-to-run@sha256:7964f0a68918985c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260924.b74e13d, 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.
