Run a 4-step validation probe for the aria-cowork spec. Tests whether this Cowork plugin can verify cwd, write to the user-attached knowledge folder, read a file pre-placed by aria-knowledge in Code, and capture or fall back gracefully on the transcript surface. Outputs structured results both to the conversation and to a probe-results file. Use when validating the aria-cowork spec before Phase 1 build. Triggers: "/aria-probe", "run aria probe", "validate aria-cowork", "test cowork filesystem".
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
# aria-probe You are running a **validation probe** for the aria-cowork plugin spec. Your goal is to determine whether this Cowork environment supports the bidirectional knowledge folder pattern that aria-cowork's design depends on. You will perform **4 probes** in sequence. For each probe, output a clear PASS/FAIL/INCONCLUSIVE verdict to the conversation AND append a structured result line to `probe-results-<timestamp>.md` at the cwd root. ## Setup Before the first probe, ensure both expected folders are attached. Ask the user: > This probe needs **two folder attaches** for full coverage: > 1. **Required:** your knowledge folder (e.g. `~/Projects/knowledge/`) — used by probes 11, 2, 3, 7 > 2. **Optional but recommended:** `~/.claude/` — used by probe 12 (tests whether Cowork can read the legacy aria-knowledge.local.md config) > > If both are attached via Cowork's folder picker, confirm the absolute paths. If only the knowledge folder is attached, probes 11/2/3/7 will run but probe 12 will be skipped. If neither is attached, attach at least the knowledge folder via Cowork's folder picker, then re-run /aria-probe. …

How to install
mdr add mikeprasad/aria-knowledge/aria-probe@sha256:5d7b1402f34420ceThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260524.67ab4e6, 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.
