The AIDE first-run walkthrough — a 5-step interactive sequence that takes a new user from "I just installed" to "I have a configured cockpit with my workbench, my BYOK (or offline-only), my desktop-control opt-in, and the system map explaining what AIDE is." Research-grounded in the 7-vendor pattern (Cursor Quickstart, VS Code Agents Quickstart, Cline Plan & Act, Windsurf Things to Try, Claude Code Quickstart, Aider tutorial videos, Continue chat-mode). Use when building/auditing the cockpit…
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
# Onboarding Walkthrough — the 5-step SOP for the new user
## Why this matters
Born 2026-09-01 from the sleeper-mode production-readiness directive. Every AI IDE / CLI in 2026 ships a first-run walkthrough (verified across 7 sources: Cursor, VS Code Copilot, Cline, Windsurf/Devin, Claude Code, Aider, Continue). AIDE has the doctrine + the runtime for every walkthrough component (privacy, BYOK, workbench, desktop, system map) but no UI ties them together. This skill IS the wire-in. Per the audit (line 89): P2 Onboarding, 1 week, ships at end of week 3 (Gate 4, line 149).
## The 5 steps (the spec)
Each step is a `<walkthrough-step>` component in the cockpit. State is held in `walkthroughState: { currentStep, completed: Record<stepId, boolean>, userChoices: { name?, role?, workbench?, byokProvider?, byokKeyStored: boolean, desktopEnabled: boolean } }`. Persisted to `<workspace>/.aide/onboarding-state.json` so the walkthrough is resumable across restarts. Each step has a `next` button (validates required fields) and a `skip` button (marks step as `skipped:true` and advances). On `next` for step 5, mark `walkthroughComplete:true` and route to the cockpit home page.

How to install
mdr add anonymousnomad/aide-sovereign-workbench/aide-onboarding-walkthrough@sha256:f5e17e521fd28eb1The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260902.7aab297, 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.
