jam-setup SKILL.md skillB

This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.

jam-setup from jamdotdev/jam-plugin is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add jamdotdev/jam-plugin/jam-setup@git:20261102.e998b12

Pins git:20261102.e998b12 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Set up Jam (jam.dev screen recordings and screenshots with the console, network and user actions attached) for this coding agent in one run, in order - install the Jam CLI, sign in, connect Jam MCP, install the Jam skills, then check everything with `jam doctor`. Use when the user says "set up jam", "install jam", "connect jam to claude/cursor/codex", "jam isn't working", or a Jam skill stopped because the CLI, sign-in or MCP was missing.

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

# jam-setup

Run the five steps below in order, and finish each one before the next.
Every step checks first and skips when it is already done, so a second run
only fixes what is missing. End with the summary table from step 6.

Ask the user once, before step 3, and reuse the answer in steps 3 and 4:

> Install Jam for this project only, or for every project on this machine?

- **This project** (default): files go in the repository (`.mcp.json` or
  the agent's own config file, `.agents/skills/`, `skills-lock.json`), so the
  team gets them when you commit them. Add no scope flag below.
- **Every project**: files go in your home directory. Add `-g` to the
  `add-mcp` and `skills` commands below, and `--global` to `jam skills install`.

In CI or a cloud agent with no one to ask, use this project.

Know which agent you are, and use its names in steps 3 and 4:

| Agent | `skills -a` | `add-mcp -a` | Sign in to Jam MCP |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Claude Code | `claude-code` | `claude-code` | `/mcp`, select Jam |
| Cursor | `cursor` | `cursor` | when Cursor asks, on first use |
| Codex | `codex` | `codex` | `/mcp` in a new session |
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jamdotdev/jam-plugin/jam-setup@sha256:fe6e3047bf941c8a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261102.e998b12, 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.
