ao-setup from untrivial-ai/agent-orchestrator is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

First run of Orchestrator Bot: find every computer that runs AO, save them as AO hosts, add a remote AO host that has no Grok Bot desktop app, and turn on optional routines. On a computer without Orchestrator.inc it helps install it and get it ready: a coding agent, a first project and the first orchestrator. Use on the first chat, when memory has no "AO hosts" note, or when the user says "set up AO", "add a host", "add remote host", "check my AO setup" or "install Orchestrator".
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
Follow the ao-rules skill. Detection is read-only. Nothing is written until the user says yes.
Open with one line: "Give me a few seconds to look for AO on your computers."
## 1. Detect
1. ListMachines. Use desktops only. If none is connected, say: "Install the Grok Bot desktop app on the computer where you run Orchestrator.inc (or want to), sign in, and tell me when it shows up," then stop.
2. On each connected desktop, in parallel, run this read-only probe with the `aoapi` helper from ao-rules: run "Probe" below.
3. Each desktop where the probe prints a `projects=` line is a **local** AO host; an empty list means it still needs "First run". For any other result, see "Missing pieces". On a Windows desktop, don't run the probe: say once "These skills need macOS or Linux; Windows isn't supported yet," and skip it.
### Probe
```sh
f(){ <aoapi helper>; echo "ao=$(command -v ao >/dev/null && ao version 2>/dev/null | head -1 || echo missing)"
if [ "$(uname -s)" = Darwin ] && [ "$(command -v python3)" = /usr/bin/python3 ] && ! xcode-select -p >/dev/null 2>&1; then echo "python=missing"

How to install
mdr add untrivial-ai/agent-orchestrator/ao-setup@sha256:5489609318608282The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261104.cf321a6, 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.
