Runs a two-minute guided Cargo demo for new users: one question about who they sell to, then 25 real leads with a cost receipt, saved as a recurring play. Works on a fresh account (100 free credits, no card). Triggers: "show me what Cargo can do", "give me a demo", "take me on a tour", "quickstart", "getting started with Cargo", "I just installed Cargo", "my workspace is empty", "does this actually work". Skip when: the user has a real job to run (build a list, enrich a CSV, find emails), use…

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

# Cargo Quickstart — first value in two minutes

One guided demo: pull ~25 fresh leads matching a buyer persona the user picks, show the cost receipt, then save the pull as a recurring play. The point is not the list — it's that in minute 3 the user owns a running system, not a one-off result.

**A new account starts with 100 free credits — no card.** This demo spends about **5** of them. Say that out loud before the first paid call ("this costs about 5 of your 100 free credits"): it converts the moment from *a purchase decision* into *a look around*, which is the whole job of a quickstart. Never let a new user think the demo is why they'd run out.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add getcargohq/cargo-skills/cargo-quickstart@sha256:eab515a60f558400

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.2, 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.
