Change your own configuration — skills, cron jobs, sources, and settings that live in the workspace. Covers both routes: a pull request when the workspace is a shared config repo (and the only route when this instance is locked), or a direct edit when the workspace is purely local. Use when asked to add/edit/remove a cron job, create or change a skill, adjust settings, or "change your config". Triggers on "add a cron", "change your schedule", "edit your config", "update settings…

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

# Managing Your Own Configuration

Your configuration lives in the **workspace**. It contains:

- `config/settings.yaml` — shareable settings
- `config/cron/jobs.yaml`, `config/cron/system.yaml`, `config/cron/gates/` — cron
- `skills/<id>/SKILL.md` — skills
- `SOUL.md`, `IDENTITY.md`, `USER.md`, `AGENTS.md`, `TOOLS.md` — your standing
  instructions

This is **not** the Nerve application source code (that's the `nerve-dev` skill).

## First: is this workspace shared?

The answer decides how you change config, so establish it before you start.

The workspace **may** be a git repository synced from a shared remote (a config
repo), in which case config is something a human reviews and merges, and your job
is to propose rather than to edit. It may equally be a plain local directory that
belongs to this instance alone — that is what an ordinary install looks like.

- **Locked instance** (lockdown / remote-only) — a PR is the *only* thing that
  works. Direct edits to tracked config are refused (the skill endpoints answer
  403, your `Write`/`Edit` are declined across that surface), and a change that
  got in some other way would block every later sync until someone cleared it.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add clickhouse/nerve/Nerve Workspace Config@sha256:762567f208639adf

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.1, 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.
