Use only when the user explicitly names Cladding and asks to initialize, adopt, or refresh it; never use for an ordinary project creation or implementation request. Scaffold from an idea, planning document, or existing project through the MCP prepare/apply flow.
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
# Cladding init Use this workflow only when the user explicitly asks to initialize, adopt, or refresh Cladding. Opening a repository alone is not consent to initialize it. ## Required host workflow If the current user message itself matches `APPLY CLADDING XXXXXX`, do not call prepare or stage again. Call `clad_init` once and copy the entire user message, including the `APPLY CLADDING` prefix, into `confirmation`. 1. If a greenfield request has no project intent, ask for one short description. 2. Call `clad_prepare_init` with exactly one starting mode: - `idea` with the user's description. - `document` with a project-relative planning-document path. - `existing` for an existing codebase; include an optional adoption goal. 3. Read the returned prompt and observations. Draft the structured object required by `clad_init` using the current host model, then call `clad_stage_init` with the preparation token and that draft. Staging validates the draft and stores only ignored runtime state under `.cladding/host/`; it does not modify authored project files. …

How to install
mdr add qwerfunch/cladding/cladding-init@sha256:6b4a9955697a2f68The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260716.fbd602a, 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.
