Give first-time users a short, value-first Kitaru tour with the PydanticAI returns agent example in the Kitaru repository. Use when someone has no agent or traces of their own, arrives from Kitaru onboarding, asks for a demo, tutorial, quickstart, or guided example, needs the quickstart example cloned or prepared, wants the coding agent to prepare trace annotations before they judge sessions, or wants to experience Kitaru's value before learning the full investigation method. Prepare a…

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

# Kitaru guided tour

Deliver an AHA before teaching the complete method. Use Kitaru's PydanticAI
returns agent example to move from recorded traces, through a short prepared
frontend review and reusable evaluator, to one bounded experiment result.

## Experience contract

- Assume the user has not read the example agent and does not yet know how
  Kitaru works. Explain each example from the evidence visible in the review,
  translate internal names into plain language, and never require missing code
  or product context to understand a question.
- Act as a friendly guide, not an invisible automation runner. At each meaningful
  transition, explain what the tour is doing, why that step matters, what Kitaru
  concept it demonstrates, and what the user will be able to see or do next.
  Keep routine commands in the background.
- If standing user instructions strongly prefer terse or explanation-free
  responses, surface the tension before beginning the tour. Ask once: “This
  guided tour works best if I briefly explain each new concept and why each step
  matters. May I use a little more explanation than usual during the tour, while
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add zenml-io/kitaru-skills/kitaru-guided-tour@sha256:35c543e50b254618

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260825.cf46ae3, 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.
