Generate a believable, lived-in ALIVE world from a free-text persona description (custom path) or a deterministic sandbox preset. Routes the create/list/activate/deactivate/delete/status surface and orchestrates the 5-stage subagent generation pipeline.

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

# alive:demo -- generative demo-world skill

This is the router. Route on `$ARGUMENTS[0]` to a sibling `.md` file (when present) or to the interactive `create` flow. Six subcommands + an interactive default:

| `$ARGUMENTS[0]` | Routes to | Status |
| --- | --- | --- |
| _empty_ / `create` | Interactive: preset vs. custom; `create.md` for the custom path | wired |
| `list` | `list.md` | wired |
| `activate <ref>` | `activate.md` | wired |
| `deactivate` | `deactivate.md` | wired |
| `delete <ref>` | `delete.md` | wired |
| `status` | `status.md` | wired |
| `reset` | rebuilds demo-state.json (recovery from schema mismatch) | wired |
| `spike-test` | retired (fn-2-2zz.1 spike) | removed below |

All five non-create sibling `.md` files (`list.md`, `activate.md`, `deactivate.md`, `delete.md`, `status.md`) invoke their CLI subcommand under `$ALIVE_PLUGIN_ROOT/bin/alive demo <name>` and print the CLI's `rendered_block` field verbatim. `create.md` is the custom-path orchestrator: it walks Stage 0 -> Stage 1 hand-off -> Stage 2/3/4/5 driver chain end-to-end. The interactive default below routes the human into either the preset path or `create.md` based on their pick.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add alivecontext/alive/alive:demo@sha256:759e4ed2ddbe6680

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260511.5023f6d, 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.
