First-run onboarding for the marketing harness. Walks new users through product discovery, generates MARKETING.md, and recommends the first command to run. Use when a user has just installed Kai and types /kai-start, "get started with Kai", "set up Kai", "first time using Kai", or when MARKETING.md doesn't exist yet.
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
# Marketing Harness — First-Run Setup > **Kai root note:** `knowledge/`, `harness/`, and `scripts/` paths in this skill live in the Kai install, not the user's project. Resolve them against the first ancestor directory of this SKILL.md that contains a `knowledge/` folder (the Kai plugin root, `~/.claude/kai`, or the kai-cmo-harness repo). `MARKETING.md`, `memory/`, and any output files live in the current project. If a referenced `scripts/` command is not available in this install, say so, skip it, and continue with the file-based guidance — never fabricate its output. ## Objective A new user goes from "just installed" to "running their first real command" in under three minutes, and leaves behind a `MARKETING.md` in the project root that every other Kai skill can read instead of re-interviewing them. The file is populated from the codebase, not from questions — the user answers only what the repo could not. Every other skill's output quality is downstream of this file. A `MARKETING.md` full of plausible guesses is worse than one full of `[TODO]`. ## Done when …

How to install
mdr add cgallic/kai-cmo-harness/kai-start@sha256:6a02bd7d4f46b90cThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260925.7339d3c, 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.
