Hello-world probe for the Socratiskill plugin. Invoked by the user as /socratic-ping to verify the plugin is installed and can read the user's socratic profile.
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
# Socratic Ping Hello-world probe that confirms the Socratiskill plugin is installed and that the harness can read the user's profile file. ## Path convention (`<plugin-root>`) This file lives at `<plugin-root>/skills/socratic-ping/SKILL.md`. When the instructions below mention reading a file relative to the plugin (e.g. the plugin manifest), `<plugin-root>` resolves to two directories above this SKILL.md. ## Instructions When the user invokes `/socratic-ping`: 1. Read `<plugin-root>/.claude-plugin/plugin.json` with the Read tool to obtain the `name` and `version` fields (single source of truth for the plugin version — do NOT hardcode). 2. Try to read `~/.claude/socratic/profile.json` with the Read tool. 3. Respond in exactly this format (one line per item): ``` pong plugin: <name from manifest> v<version from manifest> profile: <global_level from JSON> | <mode> | calibrated=<true|false> path: ~/.claude/socratic/profile.json ``` 4. If the profile file does not exist or cannot be read, respond: ``` pong plugin: <name from manifest> v<version from manifest> profile: (not found — run /socratiskill:socratic calibrate) path: ~/.claude/socratic/profile.json ``` …
Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add vicba2000/socratiskill/socratic-ping@sha256:b056ef18b29e9b68The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260419.993cf43, 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.
