Inspect and initialize a repository for future Programmer sessions by creating or refreshing PROGRAMMER.md and configuring project diagnostics. Use when the user asks to initialize, onboard, or set up Programmer for a repository, including through /init or programmer init.
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
# Initialize Project Initialize the current repository from facts verified in its files. ## Workflow 1. Explore the repository. Read the main README, build manifests such as `Cargo.toml`, `package.json`, `pyproject.toml`, or `go.mod`, and the important source directories. Identify the architecture, entry points, build and test commands, conventions, and non-obvious constraints. Do not invent details. 2. Create or refresh `PROGRAMMER.md` at the repository root. Preserve useful existing project-specific guidance and intentional organization. Keep the result concise and factual: include a short overview, the actual technology stack, build/test/run commands, key directory boundaries, conventions, and durable gotchas. Do not add marketing, temporary status, or speculative plans. 3. Configure diagnostics with `configure_diagnostics` so later edits receive IDE-style feedback. Prefer terminating one-shot checker commands over watch processes or development servers. Use the project's established tools and iterate until the configuration validates and saves. 4. Add a distinct linter as a checker with `lint = true` when the project uses …

How to install
mdr add huangdihd/programmer/initialize-project@sha256:27ca0438bf4d6536The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260808.41cb763, 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.
