Exports a Claude.ai workspace — its custom instructions and its uploaded knowledge files — into a bundle that can be re-imported elsewhere. Use for "back up my project instructions", "export my project knowledge", "copy this workspace to a new one", "migrate my project to another account", or "recreate this setup somewhere else". Operates on the Claude.ai workspace you are talking in, and reads nothing from disk.
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
# Cloning Project When users request to clone, copy, export, or backup their current project: ## When NOT to use this skill "Project" here is a Claude.ai workspace, never a code repository. The word collides badly, so route by what is actually being copied: | Situation | Use | |---|---| | Clone or fetch a git repo | accessing-github-repos | | "I just cloned this, what is it?" | exploring-codebases | | What a codebase contains or exposes | tree-sitting | | Back up a repo's files | git, not this | This skill reads the Claude.ai workspace you are talking in. It touches no checkout and knows nothing about code. ## Step 1: Verify Project Context Check if the user is in a project by looking for project-specific indicators: - Project instructions in the context window - Knowledge files mentioned in `<available_skills>` or similar sections - User explicitly stating they're in a project If not in a project, inform the user that this skill requires being inside a Claude project. ## Step 2: Gather Project Instructions …

How to install
mdr add oaustegard/claude-skills/cloning-project@sha256:9f5be02bb9540f93The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.3.0, 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.
