Install or sync the generic harness runway in any repo — greenfield or with code present. Scaffolds CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md (foreign-executor contract), CODING_STANDARDS.md (headings-only), skeleton docs (overview, techstack, decisions, specs/, work/), path-scoped rules, and the core plugin pin; bakes in doc-sync discipline. On greenfield it writes empty product skeletons; stack-matched skill/MCP/hook curation is gated tier-2, orchestrated by /super-bootstrap:setup; opt-in earn-gated scale module…

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

# Super Bootstrap — Development Pipeline for Any Repo

Set up (or sync) the development pipeline in a project. Installs harness — workflow rules, doc-sync gate, skeleton docs, the core plugin pin — in one scaffold session. The doc-sync gate at every later commit grows the skeleton docs over time, so there's no deferred deep-scan stage.

Designed for a solo developer working across multiple Claude Code sessions and cloud Claude Code.

## Phase 1: Quick Scan (lightweight, parallel reads)

Gather just enough to scaffold — skim manifests for stack/version, note structure shape, stop.

Check contributor count (`git shortlog -sn --all | head -5`). If >1 active contributor, surface as info — don't block:
> "FYI: detected multiple contributors. The pipeline's CLAUDE.md assumes solo dev (simple branching, no PRs for self-review). You can edit those sections after bootstrap if your team's workflow differs."

### Sampling Discipline (applies to all source-file reads)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add rockyhong/super-bootstrap/harness-bootstrap@sha256:1c311241f3fe8be9

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261019.dc16ee0, 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.
