Draw a visual overview of a whole project: one self-contained HTML page, `OVERVIEW.html` at the repo root, with diagrams of where the project is headed, its architecture, and the current work. Stingy with words, made for a human to take in fast. Then refine it with the user. Use when the user says "make a project overview", "draw me a picture of this project", "give me an overview page", or "update the overview".
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
# Make a project overview Goal: give a human a fast picture of a whole project in one HTML page, then refine it with them until they say it is good enough. Quest: make this project live in the human's head, and in the agent's understanding, consistent with each other and with the code. ## What the overview is A single HTML page, `OVERVIEW.html` at the repo root. It conveys information with pictures and diagrams, and it is stingy with words. It is HTML with diagrams, not markdown, because it optimizes for rapid human comprehension. **Audience.** People who come to the project: its author coming back after time away and wanting their bearings, teammates, newcomers. Its author also reads it over time, to see how the architecture changes. Agents can read it, but it is not written for them; agent-facing notes stay in markdown. **Usual material, not a template.** Choose what helps this reader, on this project, now. One project needs no context map; another needs a picture nobody else would draw. - **Purpose:** the problem this project solves - **Direction:** where it is headed: its goals, and what …

How to install
mdr add jessitron/iterate-on-docs/make-a-project-overview@sha256:24d8f0274f813d05The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.ddff87c, 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.
