setup-benny SKILL.md skillA

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

setup-benny from backnotprop/pstack is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add backnotprop/pstack/setup-benny@git:20260819.4b32d9d

Pins git:20260819.4b32d9d in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Configure Benny and prepare its triage and repro automations. Use when installing Benny or changing its Slack, tracker, repository, routing, control, model, or budget settings.

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

# Set up Benny

Benny ships as a dormant automation pack inside pstack. The plugin manifest exposes only pstack's normal skill root; this file and the two operational files are not slash skills.

The human enters setup by pointing Cursor at the pack's `FOR_AGENTS.md`. The bootstrap flow copies the whole pack into the target repository, then reads this file directly at `.cursor/automations/benny/skills/setup-benny/SKILL.md`.

Benny needs external configuration and two live Cursor automations.

Do not create or update an automation until the user explicitly asks. Never put a secret value in plugin files, prompts, or committed configuration.

## 1. Copy the pack and enable shared pstack skills

Do this before asking for Benny configuration and before invoking the built-in `/automate` skill.

Ask which repository will run the automations. The source pack is the directory containing `FOR_AGENTS.md`. The destination is `<target-repository>/.cursor/automations/benny/`.

Merge the entire source pack into the destination:

1. Create the destination when it is absent.
2. Copy every source file to the same relative path.
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add backnotprop/pstack/setup-benny@sha256:5a3cbe63360c9f63

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260819.4b32d9d, 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.
