Install, check or upgrade the papercut toolchain. Runs the doctor, asks how much to set up (Minimal, Standard, Full), then runs install.sh with flags and fixes dependency errors. Use for "set up papercut-explainer", "install papercut", "check my papercut install", "set up the voice", "why won't it render".

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

# Papercut setup

A guided wrapper around `install.sh`. It checks what is installed, asks how much the user wants, runs the installer non-interactively and reports. Use it whenever another papercut skill finds something missing.

## Preflight

- Find the repo root (where `install.sh` lives): `readlink` on the installed skill folder ends in `<root>/skills/papercut-setup`. Look in each harness's skills folder in turn (the table is `harnesses.sh`; typically `~/.claude/skills`, `~/.agents/skills`, `~/.config/opencode/skills`, or the same under `<project>/`). Failing that, `PAPERCUT_HOME=` in `${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-~/.config}/papercut-explainer/config.env`. If neither exists, the skills probably came from `npx skills add` (skills only, no library). Ask where to clone the repo (default `~/papercut-explainer`), run `git clone https://github.com/0xS4N4TG/papercut-explainer <dir>`, and use that as the root. The installer then replaces the copied skill folders with links into the checkout (it backs up real folders first). Never guess a path.
- Run every `install.sh` command from that root. It needs bash, and macOS or Linux (Windows: use WSL).

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add 0xs4n4tg/papercut-explainer/papercut-setup@sha256:ac9afa0c4bfcb111

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.ff8223a, 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.
