mirrord-quickstart 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.

mirrord-quickstart from metalbear-co/skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add metalbear-co/skills/mirrord-quickstart@v1.4

Pins v1.4 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Guide users from zero to their first working mirrord session — check system requirements, install mirrord via CLI, VS Code, or IntelliJ, run a first session against a Kubernetes target, and verify the connection. Use when a user is new to mirrord, wants to install it, needs help running their first session, or wants to debug or test a local process against their Kubernetes cluster.

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

# Mirrord Quickstart Skill

## Purpose

Help new users get mirrord running quickly:
- **Check** system requirements
- **Install** mirrord (CLI, VS Code, or IntelliJ)
- **Connect** to their first Kubernetes target
- **Verify** the connection works

Go one step at a time — don't overwhelm a new user with all options at once, and when they first connect, explain what just happened.

## Critical First Steps

**Step 1: Detect user's environment**
Ask or detect:
- Operating system (macOS, Linux, Windows)
- Preferred workflow (CLI, VS Code, IntelliJ)
- Do they have kubectl configured?

**Step 2: Verify requirements**
```bash
# Check kubectl access
kubectl cluster-info
kubectl get pods -A | head -5
```

If kubectl fails, help them configure it first.

**Cluster requirements:** Kubernetes `1.22` or later, with nodes on Linux kernel `5.4`+ and a containerd, CRI-O, or Docker runtime. Some features need a newer Kubernetes version (for example, the agent as an ephemeral container needs `1.23`); point users at [Cluster Requirements](https://metalbear.com/mirrord/docs/installing-mirrord#cluster-requirements) if a specific feature fails on an older cluster.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add metalbear-co/skills/mirrord-quickstart@sha256:8c0f4c0792582e8a

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.4, 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.
