Operator-initiated re-discovery — resolve config drift, re-cluster topics, re-curate grown areas into DEC/INV drafts.

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

# Skill: cairn-resync

## Host portability

This skill is shared by Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex. Resolve Cairn MCP
tools with the host's native discovery mechanism and use its structured
question UI, falling back to a concise A/B/C chat question. Named curator
briefs live under `../../agents/`; dispatch them natively after reading the
brief, or execute inline only when the host has no subagent capability.

You are running Cairn's operator-initiated re-discovery so committed
ground state catches up to a tree that has grown or been restructured
since adoption.

Everything here is **opt-in, recoverable, and never auto-applies to
committed ground**: deterministic edits are `review`-class (the operator
commits the diff); LLM passes spend the fast tier only on genuinely-new
prose; re-curation produces `_inbox/` drafts the operator drains. Confirm
scope with the operator before any pass that spends model quota (re-cluster,
re-curate).

## Pass 1 — config-resync (deterministic, free)

Resolve the config-drift the sensor surfaced.

1. Preview: `cairn_resync({})` (dry-run default). Summarize the proposed
   `.cairn/config.yaml` edits — add a grown dir to `componentDirs`, add a

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add isaacriehm/cairn/cairn-resync@sha256:feae287ee23a35bd

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260727.490969f, 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.
