Generates a contextual onboarding document for a new contributor or agent joining the project. Summarizes project state, architecture, conventions, and current priorities relevant to the specified role or area.
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
## Phase 1: Load Project Context
Read AGENTS.md for project overview and standards.
Read the relevant agent definition from `.agents/agents/` if a specific role is specified.
---
## Phase 2: Scan Relevant Area
- For programmers: scan `src/` for architecture, patterns, key files
- For designers: scan `design/` for existing design documents
- For narrative: scan `design/narrative/` for world-building and story docs
- For QA: scan `tests/` for existing test coverage
- For production: scan `production/` for current sprint and milestone
Read recent changes (git log if available) to understand current momentum.

## Phase 3: Generate Onboarding Document
```markdown
# Onboarding: [Role/Area]
## Project Summary
[2-3 sentence summary of what this game is and its current state]
## Your Role
[What this role does on this project, key responsibilities, who you report to]
## Project Architecture
[Relevant architectural overview for this role]
### Key Directories

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260622.a7ad6fe, 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.
