Guide setup one step at a time and show what remains. Use only when the user explicitly asks for it by name.

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

# setup-help

Guide the user through any setup, one step at a time, in plain English.

## Response format (every single response)

1. **Current step** — ONE coherent setup step. Group tightly related actions and fields from the same form or screen, and provide every value the user needs to complete them. Use 1–4 concise lines. Split only at a real decision, verification point, or screen change.
2. A `----` divider.
3. **Still remaining** — a numbered list of the setup steps left after this one. Max 8 items, ever. Each item is a HEADLINE only: a few words, easy to glance at. No commands, URLs, event names, values, or explanations — that detail appears only when the item becomes the Current step.

Repeat this format for every response until setup is done.

## Rules

- Before the first step, build a complete canonical checklist from the user's outline, repo/docs, current screen, and any discovered prerequisites.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add davidondrej/skills/setup-help@sha256:7e94fc5326256006

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261008.7874889, 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.
