Where this package is installed and what each part of it is - every skill, its reference files, its scripts, and the sibling directories the install carries. Use when a mission block needs the skills' directory, when a contract must name a reference or a script by path, or when anything is about to look for the package on disk. The answer comes from the script's own location, so it is exact wherever a host installed the package, and nothing has to be searched for or written down in advance.

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

# Where the package is

A host installs this package wherever it likes. Nothing downstream can
know that path in advance, and everything downstream needs it: a mission
block's `Skills:` line, a contract pointing at a reference file, an
agent about to run a skill's script.

Working it out is not a task for an agent. One that tries globs the
repository, opens whatever it meets on the way, and spends turns on it
before any work begins — measured, in one observation preflight: 34 file
reads and 13 globs against 16 shell commands, including an unrelated
command file it found while looking.

## Ask the installation where it is

```bash
python3 <this skill's directory>/scripts/layout.py              # the whole map
python3 <this skill's directory>/scripts/layout.py --skill <name>   # one skill
python3 <this skill's directory>/scripts/layout.py --json           # parseable
```

That is the whole surface — `--skill` and `--json`, nothing required —
so `--help` has nothing to add and the file has nothing to read.

It prints the skills' root and the sibling directories the install
carries, then, per skill, its `SKILL.md`, its `references/<name>.md`
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add using-system/oddyssey/package-layout@sha256:be68bc5002bd852e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260907.4a987fd, 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.
