adopt-existing skillA
adopt-existing is agent-read markdown (skill) from llopresto87/cypress: Source-first growth of an existing single- or multi-repository project into CYPRESS's unified docs/graph knowledge system. Use from initialize when code already exists, or for a graph refresh after material code changes. Scout executable evidence, model subsystem nodes, build project-specific architecture/product/API/data/dependency/prompt/operations leaves, connect them for progressive discovery, and validate navigation. Never trust centralized prose without source corroboration, invent specs o.
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
What the file says
# Adopt an existing project Turn a generic installed seed into a project-specific knowledge plant. Follow `docs/graph/protocols/initialize.md`; this skill supplies the existing-project discovery and authoring discipline. ## Invariants - `docs/graph/` is the only maintained knowledge root. The router, nodes, LLM wiki, provenance, plans, runbooks, contracts, and deep dives are layers of one graph, not separate documentation systems. - Executable source outranks prose. Manifests, entry points, routes, schemas, migrations, config, deployment, tests, CI, prompts, and evals are primary evidence. Existing docs are corroborating evidence only. - Make additive knowledge changes. Preserve application code and unrelated existing files. Never delete or relocate competing AI configurations. - Do not run builds or application test suites during adoption. Extract their exact commands and label them `discovered, not executed`. An inherited suite is untrusted until it has been proven by mutation (see `docs/graph/protocols/test-first.md` — prove RED by mutation); record it as discovered, never as passing. - Do not fetch, pull, switch, commit, or push. Record repository revision …

How to install
mdr add llopresto87/cypress/adopt-existing@git:20260915.df30567mdr add llopresto87/cypress/adopt-existing@sha256:079e0c94a9b3d2d3Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
