First-contact orientation for an unfamiliar codebase. Use when "I'm new to this repo", "orient me", "explain this codebase", "what does this do?", "onboard me", "first day on this project", or "catch me up on the codebase".

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

# workflow-onboard — Codebase Orientation

**Degree of freedom: MIXED.** Briefing synthesis `[HIGH freedom]`; which files
to read and never printing env values `[LOW freedom — run exactly]`.

Orient to any repo in under 5 minutes. Read first, explain second.

## How to reason

1. **Read** — manifests, routes, schema, auth — don't guess
2. **Map** — stack, features, data, how-to-run
3. **Gap** — missing README/schema said out loud
4. **Brief** — scannable; top-3 complexity called out

## Worked example

> **Read:** `package.json` is Next.js 16 + Supabase; `src/app/(app)/*` has dashboard, billing, settings; latest migration adds `organizations`.
> **Map:** B2B dashboard; session via middleware + `getUser()`; run `pnpm dev`.
> **Gap:** no README scripts section; `.env.example` lists `STRIPE_SECRET_KEY`.
> **Brief:** purpose + stack + route map + 4 tables + auth + `pnpm dev` + env names + "start in `src/lib/billing`".

## Self-critique before reporting

- **Files read** — briefing cites files, not folklore
- **Secrets safe** — env names only, never values
- **Gaps explicit** — missing schema/README is stated, not invented

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add kensaurus/cursor-kenji/workflow-onboard@sha256:aeca1a12b92a3fcb

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260923.68c095e, 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.
