Complete guide for writing dep scripts in the octomind-tap registry: required header comments, platform.sh boilerplate, type: mcp vs type: dep, npx/uvx MCP pattern, platform variables and functions, companion .md format, and validation. Activate when creating or editing deps/<org>/<tool>.sh files.
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
## Overview A dep script is a `deps/<org>/<tool>.sh` bash script that installs a tool or MCP server runtime. Octomind runs every `[deps] require` entry of a manifest's capabilities before MCP initialisation, and a capability's deps again when it is activated at runtime. Every script must be idempotent and handle macOS and the major Linux package managers. Runtime contract: Octomind invokes `bash <script>` (Git Bash on Windows), so the executable bit is not required. stdin is closed, stdout is discarded, stderr is captured and shown only when the script fails; exit 0 means ready, non-zero aborts the session start or the activation with that stderr. Each dep script must have a matching `deps/<org>/<tool>.md` companion doc. ## Rules ### Required Header Comments Every dep script starts with these header comments, exactly on lines 1–6 in this order (`lint-deps.sh` checks them by line number): ```bash #!/usr/bin/env bash # dep: <org>/<tool> # type: mcp|dep # description: Brief description of what this installs # check: <command-to-verify-installation> # https://homepage-url ``` …

How to install
mdr add muvon/octomind-tap/tap-deps-authoring@sha256:19a7d2271a8c489dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261013.a69e0bb, 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.
