Use as the engaging first-run experience right after the Orchestra plugin is installed, or whenever a developer says "get started", "set me up", "I'm new to this", "onboard me", or asks what Orchestra is and where to begin. Confirms the Orchestra sign-in, profiles the machine and goals in one quick interview, writes ~/.understudy/profile.json, points the plugin at the user's real workload, and reports the optional local model lab. Hands off to the understudy orchestrator.
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
# Orchestra Onboarding The first thing a new user experiences. Goal: in a few minutes, leave them with (1) a clear sense of what Orchestra is and why it matters, (2) the plugin pointed at their real workload, and (3) a saved profile so you never re-ask what you already learned. A local model is optional: the installer's local model lab (Apple Silicon only) or an explicit request, never a default. Run this after [`install-agent-adapter`](../install-agent-adapter/SKILL.md). It follows the engagement doctrine in [`../../docs/engagement-and-pacing.md`](../../docs/engagement-and-pacing.md): keep the first minutes fast, and background anything slow. Detail — profile schema, interview bank, tooling-detection table — is in [`reference.md`](reference.md). ## Safety Gates - **No unrequested downloads.** Never pull weights or install MLX unless the installer's local model lab already started them or the user asks. Before a pull, name the exact model, quantization, and disk size, and get a yes. - **Sign-in stays with the user.** Never read the user's inbox or handle their sign-in code. Ask them to run `orchestra login` in their own terminal; if …

How to install
mdr add understudylabs/orchestra-agent-tools/onboard@sha256:10a653cd4325d66dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261027.3fca83e, 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.
