Step-by-step walk-through to get comfortable using Vodou - handholding guide from first command through creating skills, MCP, scripts, and deep Vodou usage.
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.

# Vodou Hello World - Your Guided Walk-Through
## About
This skill is the onboarding walk-through for Vodou: choose a path (short walk-through, create a skill, connect MCP, scripts, install MCP, or deep dive) and follow step-by-step. Skills control your bot; the bot runs and connects to a whole backend of MCP servers.
## Stopping points (in order)

1. Choose your path (1–6)
2. [Path-specific] – e.g. Path 2: Give it a name → [auto] → Your skill just loaded (Step D) → optionally Step E (add one MCP tool, or skip)

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
