Use when a project keeps its state in Superself (a `<!-- superself:begin` block in AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md, or `self setup` resolves the directory to a registered project): read `self context` at session start, attach work to a work unit, report with evidence, and record confirmed decisions so the next session picks up where this one left off.
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
# Superself Superself is an Apache-2.0 CLI (`npm install -g superself@0.6.1`, Node 22.12+) that version-controls a project's state — goals, decisions, work units, reports — as an append-only event log in a git repository separate from the code. The state is derived on demand, so nothing in it is hand-maintained. This skill tells an agent how to read and write that state through the `self` CLI. It is maintained by the Superself authors: https://github.com/fxylabs/superself ## When this skill applies - The project's `AGENTS.md` or `CLAUDE.md` contains a block between `<!-- superself:begin` and `<!-- superself:end -->`, or `self setup` prints the workspace, project, and store this directory resolves to. - Skip the skill when `self --version` fails: the project does not use Superself, and nothing below should be invented by hand. This skill is written against `superself@0.6.1`; a different major or minor version may have moved a verb or flag, so check `self <command> --help` before relying on one. ## Session start 1. Run `self context` and treat its output as current truth: the goal, active decisions and conventions, open work, recent reports. It is folded from the …

How to install
mdr add wshobson/agents/superself@sha256:ac36f91040ebd1d5The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260901.7b7d968, 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.
