Use dekko's tools instead of grep/Read whenever a repo has a .dekko/ directory — not just at session start. Trigger before any Grep/Glob/Read of a source file, before a `grep`/`rg`/`find`/`cat` in Bash, and on any "find/locate/understand this symbol," "what does this file/dir contain," "who calls this," "what will this change break," or "which tests should I run" impulse. dekko has already parsed and indexed the repo; grepping or reading whole files re-does work dekko already did, at higher…
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
# Orienting with dekko (read less of the repo) A repo with a `.dekko/` directory is already parsed and indexed. Call dekko **before** grepping for a symbol or reading a whole file. The MCP tools are `mcp__dekko__*` or `mcp__plugin_dekko_dekko__*` (this skill writes the bare name). If neither is in your toolset, they may be deferred: search for "dekko" before falling back to Read/Grep. With no MCP tools at all, use the CLI column below. No `.dekko/` yet? Run `dekko map .` (or `/map`) once. ## The default ladder Each rung is roughly an order of magnitude cheaper than the next: 1. **Orient**: `summary`, unless the session-start preamble is already in context. 2. **Locate**: `search_code` when you know what the code does, `query_symbol` when you know its name. Never grep for a definition. 3. **Shape**: `outline` on the file or directory the hit lives in. 4. **Relate**: `get_callers` / `get_callees` / `find_usages` / `impacted_tests`, or `workset` for the whole bundle in one call. 5. **Read**: only the lines you are about to edit, via `get_context_pack` with `with_source` or a line-ranged Read. A whole-file Read is the last resort. …

How to install
mdr add aahlijia/dekko/dekko-orient@sha256:02dde03e7ed70773The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261005.43ccaf3, 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.
