Use when returning to a repo after a break, asking what changed, what's new for this stack, or invoking project-catch-up after explain-new-project. Scans the stack for important updates, deprecations, new helper tools, agent skills, and MCP servers online—plain-language brief saved as PROJECT_CATCH_UP.md.
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
# Project Catch-Up ## Where this fits Part of the same workflow as: 1. [explain-new-project](../explain-new-project/SKILL.md) → `PROJECT_GUIDE.md` 2. [project-worth-my-time](../project-worth-my-time/SKILL.md) → `PROJECT_VERDICT.md` (optional) 3. **This skill** → `PROJECT_CATCH_UP.md` — run when you **come back** to a project so you do not rebuild what already exists or miss breaking updates Same **audience** as explain-new-project: self-taught, plain language, **Learn:** for jargon, language matches the user's chat. ## When invoked 1. Confirm **project root**. 2. Read **`PROJECT_GUIDE.md`** if present; else README + lockfile/manifest to list the **stack** (frameworks, major packages, hosting, AI tools). 3. **Pieces MCP (try once)** — when did the user last touch this project? (see below). Skip judgment if unavailable. 4. **Web research (required)** — search for news since a sensible window (see Research window). 5. Write the report from the template; cite sources with links where possible. 6. **Always save** `PROJECT_CATCH_UP.md` at the project root (overwrite if present). …

How to install
mdr add aka-kika/akakika-skills/project-catch-up@sha256:14f309f1fde533c3The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260620.d4b3079, 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.
