help SKILL.md skillA

help from ariaxhan/kernel-claude is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add ariaxhan/kernel-claude/help@git:20260912.482f2bc

Show KERNEL help. The unified skill system, state operations, agents, current plugin status. Triggers: help, how, what, skills, commands.

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

<skill id="help">

<purpose>
Quick reference for KERNEL v9.11.0.
One primitive: skills (methodology, workflows, state transitions, validators,
operators). Agents, manifests, philosophy, and current plugin status.
</purpose>

<host_invocation>
Claude Code invokes skills as `/kernel:<name>`. Codex invokes them as
`$kernel:<name>`. Tables below use Claude Code syntax; Codex users replace the
leading slash with a dollar sign.
</host_invocation>

<on_start>
Before showing help, check the actual state of the plugin as loaded in your context:
1. Is the session-start hook output visible? (Look for "# KERNEL" at conversation start)
2. Which profile is active? (local, github, github-oss, github-production)
3. Are there active contracts or pending reviews in AgentDB?
4. Report what you see, don't just recite docs.

```bash
agentdb recall "<feature> <subsystem> <files/symbols> <error/outcome>" --global
```
</on_start>

<getting_started>
| What you want | What to type |
|---------------|--------------|
| Set up a new project | `/kernel:init` |
| Start working on anything | `/kernel:ingest` + describe task |
| Run autonomously overnight | `/kernel:forge` + describe goal |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ariaxhan/kernel-claude/help@sha256:9864be254e379679

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260912.482f2bc, 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.
