onboard skillA

onboard is agent-read markdown (skill) from open-octo/octo-agent: Onboard a new user OR curate a single piece of the assistant's inner state. Without arguments, runs the full first-run ceremony (AI name, personality, user profile, soul.md + user.md). With `scope:soul` or `scope:user`, runs a quick chat to update just that one profile file. With `path:<abs>`, runs a quick chat to update / keep / delete one memory file under ~/.octo/memories/. Use when the user wants to change the assistant's name/personality, update their own profile, or review/edit a saved mem.

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

How to install

Latest version
mdr add open-octo/octo-agent/onboard@git:20260821.272a74f
Exact content
mdr add open-octo/octo-agent/onboard@sha256:f770c1a4177d7554

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
