Use before reading any .txt file, whatever its name, and whenever a task builds on GitIngest digests. Checks whether a file is a digest (a whole repository in one file) and surveys, searches, and reads it without loading it whole. Returns only the requested lines, with token estimates and anchors for a reusable synthesis.
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
# Ingest
A **GitIngest** digest is a whole repository in one text file, usually far larger than any context. Never read it directly: the helper returns only the parts you ask for.
The helper ships with this skill, at [tools/ingest.ts](tools/ingest.ts) next to this file. It needs no package, only **Node.js** 22.18 or later, which runs its TypeScript directly. Run it from the project root, pointing at wherever the skill is installed.
## Check first
```sh
node <path-to-this-skill>/tools/ingest.ts is notes.txt
```
If it prints `GitIngest digest of ...`, follow this skill. If it prints `not a GitIngest digest`, read the file as usual and ignore the rest of this skill.
## Commands
Put the digests after the command. `--help` lists every flag.
```sh
# Size, token estimate, main areas, and largest files
node <path-to-this-skill>/tools/ingest.ts overview project.txt
# Directory tree of an area, two levels deep
node <path-to-this-skill>/tools/ingest.ts tree project.txt --under packages/server --depth 2
# Files of an area, largest first
node <path-to-this-skill>/tools/ingest.ts files project.txt --under packages/server --sort size
…
The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
