Install, update or remove supplied GitHub repositories or local Git directories as Orkas external packages with Skills or CLIs; not custom Skill creation or import.

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

# Package Installer

Install third-party open-source projects (a GitHub URL or a local git
directory the user provides) as external packages. The project is cloned
verbatim into the per-user packages directory — never edit, normalize, or
reorganize its files.

Run the Orkas CLI command below through the command execution tool; Orkas
handles this runner form directly on Windows:

```text
"$ORKAS_NODE" "$ORKAS_PC_DIR/bin/orkas-pkg.cjs" <command> [args]
```

Commands: `install <git-url> [--name <name>] [--consent-deps]`,
`consent-deps <name>`, `update <name>`, `remove <name>`, `list`,
`info <name>`.
Every command prints a JSON result; non-zero exit prints `{ok:false,error}`.

## Install flow

1. Run `install <git-url>`. Use `--name <name>` when the user, marketplace
   prompt, or install request explicitly gives a package name, or when the repo
   basename is not a valid package name (the error message will say so).
   Never pass `--consent-deps` on the first attempt — dependency installs need
   the user's explicit approval first.
2. Read the JSON result:
   - `deps_pending_consent` non-empty → the package is installed but its
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add orkas-ai/orkas/package-installer@sha256:b3511e5fa863db49

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261104.f8819b9, 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.
