Start HERE when unsure which ripwire skill fits, or asked 'how do I use ripwire / where do I start'. A moment→skill map, cold start to handoff, plus the two reflexes that leak most: --exemplar before you write, --quality-delta before you call it done. One hop to the right skill.

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

# ripwire router — the moment → skill map

Agents route by **moment**, not by feature. Find the row that matches what you're about to do; it names the
ONE skill to enter. If you routed wrong, each skill's own routing header sends you one hop to the right one.

## Not sure which verb fits? Ask the tool itself

`ripwire <dir> --help-task="<the task in words>" --legend=compact` returns ONE recommended command with the evidence
behind the pick (intent, score/margin, repository facts) — or honestly abstains when the evidence is
too thin to name a winner. One hop cheaper than reading this whole map: paste the task, run what it
recommends. Advice only — it never executes the recommendation.

A short bare word abstains even when it names a real symbol — a lone letter, a SCREAMING name, or an
ordinary word that happens to match an indexed name (`F` in `--help-task="understand F"`, django's ORM
class, is a real example) does not resolve on its own; only genuine identifier SHAPE does
(camelCase/snake_case/`::`/`.`). Mark it as code in the task text instead — backtick it (`` `F` ``) or
write it in call form (`F()`) — to route on it by name.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add redhat-et/ripwire/ripwire-router@sha256:0a093387dfec2a66

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261103.04f09da, 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.
