One-time feed hermit setup. Seeds the source registry and FEEDS.md tone spec, configures brief slots/tone/enrichments, drops routine prompts, and wires routines including source-scout into config.json. Run once per project after /hermitd:hatch.
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
# Hatch — hermitd-feed
Idempotent setup wizard for the feed plugin. Run **after** `/hermitd:hatch` has already completed.
---
## Step 1 — Prerequisite check
Check whether `.hermit/config.json` exists.
If it does not:
Print this block and stop:
```markdown
## ▶ Next step — type this now
/hermitd:hatch
I can't run setup wizards for you (they're operator-run by design).
After it finishes, come back and type `/hermitd-feed:hatch`.
```
If it does exist, run `.hermit/bin/hermitd-run domain-hatch preflight hermitd-feed` and parse the JSON verdict. Branch on `action`:
- **`bootstrap_core` / `upgrade_core_package` / `upgrade_core_applied`** → tell the operator to run the `next_steps` commands in order, then stop. An older core prints the dashed form of these with a `remedy` instead: relay `remedy` and stop.
- **`verify`** → say:
> "hermitd-feed {self_version} is already installed. Skip to Step 6 to re-verify, or reply 'full' to re-run the full wizard."
Use `AskUserQuestion`: "(verify / full)" — **verify** → skip to Step 6; **full** → continue from Step 2.
- **`full`** → continue from Step 2.

How to install
mdr add gtapps/hermitd/hatch@sha256:e84c6b22cad0720dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261017.6fbe5b1, 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.
