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
# OpenVideoHarness Harness path (set by install.sh): ~/OpenVideoHarness This skill is a thin pointer. All workflows, rules and tools live in the OpenVideoHarness repository. ## 1. Locate the harness Use the first of these that exists and contains `bin/vh`: 1. `$OVH_DIR` 2. the path on the "Harness path" line above 3. `~/OpenVideoHarness` 4. the current working directory If none exists, ask the user for permission, then install it: ```bash curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ZLHad/OpenVideoHarness/main/install.sh | bash ``` ## 2. Follow the harness, not this file Read `<harness>/CLAUDE.md` (Codex: `<harness>/AGENTS.md`, which is identical) and follow it exactly: - route the request to one of the 11 `video-types/` docs (09, editing the user's own footage, and 11, a recap of the user's own photos, are experimental); - create the project with `<harness>/bin/vh new <type> <slug>`; …

How to install
mdr add zlhad/openvideoharness/open-video-harness@sha256:1f55700f36b06f5aThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261106.d3c7a5c, 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.
