How to answer the owner when he asks what this project is, how something works, whether it can do X, or where a thing lives. Load it on "explain how this works", "what can this project do", "how is it built", "can I …", "why does it do that", and whenever the answer would reach past your own tree — the panel, the auth service, the data layer, the machine itself. The point: you have THREE circles of sight, and only the first one you may answer from memory of the files you just opened. For the…
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
# explain-this-project > Informational, not binding. **Know a better way for the case in front of you — do it your way and > say so.** You are trusted with the creative work on this project. The owner will ask, more and more often as the project grows: *"tell me how this works and how I can use it."* That question is not small talk — it is how he learns what he owns. Answer it by **looking**, not by remembering. ## 1. Three circles of sight | Circle | What is in it | How you answer | |---|---|---| | **yours** | this repository: `CLAUDE.md`, the skills, `sections/` and its catalogue, the gates in `scripts/`, the config files, your own routes | **by measuring** — open the file, count the thing, show the line. Never from memory of "how it usually is" | | **the contract** | the neighbours you use without seeing: authentication `3001`, the data layer `3300`, the map `3400`, channels `3500`, RAG `9621`, and the panel `3002` | **by quoting the contract** — the port table at the top of `CLAUDE.md` names the skill that owns each one. Read that skill and answer from it | …

How to install
mdr add fractera/web4-node-starter-kit/explain-this-project@sha256:702a46f3bbaf49fdThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260918.284f588, 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.
