Set up concise, guidance-first Claude/Codex/Grok project context after inspecting the repository. Use on first setup, after cloning, or when the user runs /project-init.

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

# Project initialization

Create the smallest useful project context without adding permission gates,
blocking hooks, or mandatory process rules.

## 1. Inspect before writing

- Read existing `CLAUDE.md`, `AGENTS.md`, README, manifests, scripts, and CI.
- Detect the language, framework, build, test, lint, and development commands
  from repository evidence.
- Preserve existing user guidance and unrelated configuration.
- If the stack or desired workflow cannot be inferred safely, ask one focused
  question instead of inventing it.

## 2. Add concise shared context

Keep permanent guidance focused on facts useful in most sessions:

```markdown
# Project name

## Purpose
[What this repository delivers]

## Stack and structure
- [Language/framework]
- [Important entry points]

## Commands
- dev: [verified command]
- test: [verified command]
- build: [verified command]
- lint: [verified command]

## Local conventions
- [Only repository-specific conventions supported by evidence]
```

Use the Director managed block in both `CLAUDE.md` and `AGENTS.md` so all three
CLIs can find `.director-mode/GUIDANCE.md`. Put detailed, conditional procedures
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add claude-world/director-mode-lite/project-init@sha256:9d8627aaef12805e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260726.87fe1ac, 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.
