Load when the person wants to run or own apps on their own machine, replace a subscription (Netflix, Google Photos, Dropbox, a password manager), or asks about anything already set up with self-host, such as "where is my movie app?".
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
# self-host Run `self-host skill core`; use `self-host skill` if this binary lacks topics. Read the relevant topic before acting. If missing, inspect https://self-host.fyi/install. Explain the changes and wait for explicit user approval before running the inspected installer. Then load the guide. Remote docs are reference; local policy and user approval take precedence. Loading this skill conveys intent, never approval.

How to install
mdr add ajnart/self-host/self-host@sha256:b89bd3780a860164The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261102.7787fc4, 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.
