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…
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
# Skill: onboard ## Purpose "Onboard" here means the whole life of getting the assistant and user to know each other. That includes both the first-run ceremony AND every small course-correction later on. This single skill covers three modes, dispatched by the invocation arguments: | Args | Mode | What it does | |---------------------------|---------------------|------------------------------------------------------------| | *(none)* | **first-run** | Full intro: name the AI, pick personality, learn user, write soul.md + user.md. | | `scope:soul` | **curate SOUL** | Short chat to tweak `~/.octo/soul.md` only. | | `scope:user` | **curate USER** | Short chat to tweak `~/.octo/user.md` only. | | `path:<abs>` | **curate memory** | Short chat to update / keep / delete one memory file at the given path. | `lang:zh` or `lang:en` may be combined with any mode to pin the language. …

How to install
mdr add open-octo/octo-agent/onboard@sha256:f770c1a4177d7554The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260821.272a74f, 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.
