Walks the user through setting up Hylo itself in chat, one step at a time, and picks up where they left off. Use only when told to run hylo-setup (the first chat after onboarding is), or when the user explicitly asks to set up, continue or redo the setup of Hylo, e.g. 'continue Hylo setup', 'run Hylo setup again', '继续 Hylo 设置', '重新运行 Hylo 设置'. Do not use for setting up anything else (a tool, project, bot or app), for one-off changes like adding a bot or trigger, or for questions about how Hylo…

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

# Hylo Setup — Router

## Tools

The tools named here are Hylo's MCP tools (server `hylo`); your client may show them prefixed, e.g. `mcp__hylo__read`. If they are not in your tool list, search your deferred tools for "hylo". If they are still missing, tell the user setup needs them and stop.

## Progress file

Progress lives in `/_setup/progress.md`, visible to the user:

```markdown
---
started: <YYYY-MM-DD>
language: <BCP 47 tag, once confirmed>
completed: <YYYY-MM-DD, once wrap-up is done>
---
- [x] intro — [[Getting started with Hylo]]
- [x] language — zh-Hans
- [x] about-you — product designer, into AI tools
- [ ] recall-bot
- [ ] news-bot
- [ ] compile
- [ ] channels
- [ ] wrap-up
```

`[x]` done, `[-]` skipped (with the reason), `[ ]` pending. Keep each note after the dash to a few words.

Read it with `read {"path": "/_setup/progress.md"}`. If it doesn't exist, this is a first run: write it with every step below pending. Write it back with `create {"path": "/_setup/progress.md", "content": "<content>", "force": true}` each time a step ends.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add skoowoo/hylo/hylo-setup@sha256:2f7e63a9af907172

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261020.c0963bd, 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.
