vir SKILL.md skillA

vir from djolex999/vir is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned

mdr add djolex999/vir/vir@git:20261007.ffd0686

Pins git:20261007.ffd0686 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Consult the user's vir knowledge base: notes distilled from their own past coding-agent sessions (decisions, gotchas, patterns, tools). Use before starting non-trivial work in a project, when the user asks 'what did I decide about X', 'have I hit this before', 'check my notes/vault', when debugging an error that may have happened before, and before architectural or library choices.

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

# vir: the user's own past decisions

vir distills the user's past coding-agent sessions into short markdown notes:
**decisions** (what they chose and why), **gotchas** (what broke and the fix),
**patterns**, and **tools**. The notes are the user's own history, not general
advice. Checking them first avoids re-solving a problem they already solved
or re-opening a decision they already made.

This skill only **reads** the notes. It never writes them.

## 1. Pick the access path (first one that works)

1. **MCP tools.** If `vir_query` is among your tools, use it, and **pass
   `synthesize: false`**. By default it synthesizes an answer with an LLM call
   billed to the user's provider; you only need the matching notes, and you
   can read them yourself. Other read-only tools: `vir_recent_notes` (latest
   notes), `vir_project_summary` (one project's knowledge), `vir_status`
   (vault health).
2. **CLI.** If `vir --version` prints a version, search with:

   ```bash
   vir query "<question>" --json --limit 5
   ```

   This is retrieval only: no LLM call and no cost. The only side effect is a
   line in vir's local query log (`~/.vir/queries.jsonl`), which the user can
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add djolex999/vir/vir@sha256:2a5c0beadce3fa3a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261007.ffd0686, 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.
