Side-route orientation skill. Use when the user asks 'what's next', 'where am I', or is returning to a repo mid-pipeline and wants to know which skill to run next. Reads repo state (branch, PRs, issues, research archive, milestones) and recommends one next step with a one-line reason. Not for executing work — only for routing.
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
# Help Read the current repo state and recommend the next pipeline step. This skill does not do any work itself — it orients the user by pointing to the right next skill, citing the state it observed so the recommendation can be overruled. This is the front door for users who are returning to a repo after a break, onboarding to Skill Kit for the first time, or stuck mid-pipeline and unsure which skill to invoke next. ## Invocation Position This is a side-route skill. It reconnects to the main pipeline at whichever skill the diagnosis points to. Use `/help` when: - The user is starting a session in a repo that already uses Skill Kit and wants to know where they are in the pipeline - The user has been away from a feature for a while and needs a refresher on what state the work is in - A new team member is learning the pipeline and wants guidance rather than reading all of `references/SYSTEM-OVERVIEW.md` - The user explicitly asks "what should I do next?" or "where am I?" Do not use `/help`: - To actually run the recommended skill — `/help` only recommends; the user runs the next skill themselves - When the user already knows the next step and just wants to execute …

How to install
mdr add chrislacey89/skills/help@sha256:e9de962c6239a614The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261020.f57e6a3, 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.
