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…
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
# 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 this one graph (`rule.knowledge`). - 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. Leave competing AI configurations in place; deleting or relocating one is the owner's call. - Adoption ONLY records build and test commands: extract each exact command and label it `discovered, not executed`, with where it was found (`path:line`) and, when they hold, `target absent` or `declared, non-functional` (the states are `verify.gate-states`; the growth gate is `grow.gate.executed`). An inherited suite stays …

How to install
mdr add llopresto87/cypress/adopt-existing@sha256:906e6c91b3358dfaThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.eff8d56, 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.
