This skill should be used when configuring a repository for groundwork - detects single-project or monorepo structure and creates .groundwork.yml.
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
# Setup Repository Skill Configures the repository structure for Groundwork. Detects or asks whether this is a single-project repo or a monorepo, and creates `.groundwork.yml` for monorepos. ## Workflow ### Step 1: Detect Repository Structure Look for common monorepo patterns: - Multiple directories with their own `package.json`, `go.mod`, `Cargo.toml`, etc. - Common monorepo directories: `apps/`, `packages/`, `services/`, `projects/` - Existing `specs/` directory (suggests single-project) - Workspace configuration files (`pnpm-workspace.yaml`, `lerna.json`, `turbo.json`) ### Step 2: Ask User Use `AskUserQuestion` to confirm: > "I've analyzed your repo structure. Is this:" > - **Single project** — One project, specs at the repo root > - **Monorepo** — Multiple projects, each with their own specs If monorepo indicators were found, mention them: > "I noticed [apps/, packages/, workspace config], which suggests a monorepo structure." ### Step 3: Configure **If single project:** - No config file needed …

How to install
mdr add etr/groundwork/setup-repo@sha256:1b4b5d19984492c2The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260912.480a145, 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.
