The rules every tend session runs under. Load it before starting work in CI, ahead of the per-action skills it points you at.

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

# Run Tend in CI

## First Steps — Load Repo-Specific Instructions

Tend's bundled skills provide defaults; the consumer repo's own instructions — its `running-tend` skill, its `CLAUDE.md` or `AGENTS.md`, its `.config/tend.yaml` — overlay them. **Where the two conflict, the repo wins** — the repo's instructions take precedence over the bundled ones across every skill, not just this one.

If a `running-tend` skill is listed in your available skills, read it before doing anything else. It typically carries PR title conventions, label policies, custom workflows to watch, and other repo-specific context. It can also define extra tasks for the job you're running — additional nightly or weekly maintenance, repo-specific health checks — which you perform as part of that job, not just keep in mind.

Invoke a repo-local skill by its own name with no plugin prefix — `/running-tend`, never under the `/tend-ci-runner:` prefix, which is reserved for this plugin's own skills.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add max-sixty/tend/run-tend@sha256:8a1dea17abe8e1af

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261105.af15db5, 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.
