configuring-grove skillA
configuring-grove is agent-read markdown (skill) from bearlike/grove: Use when configuring Grove for a user or project, including agent rosters, init scripts, containers, private credentials, daemon or MCP setup, or the native-versus-terminal launch of a Claude Code or Codex agent. Also use when resolving config layers, validating a config schema, or explaining why a workspace starts with unexpected runtime behavior. For fleet operation use using-grove. For an agent inside a workspace use working-in-grove..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
What the file says
# Configuring Grove [Grove](https://github.com/bearlike/Grove) is a terminal workspace manager for AI coding agents. Each Grove workspace is one git worktree plus one tmux session running an agent, scoped to the repository it is launched from. This skill helps you configure Grove correctly for a user, both at the host/user level and per project. Your job: find out what the user wants, decide which config layer it belongs in, write valid JSON, and **verify it against the version of Grove they actually have installed**. Do not guess. Grove validates strictly and rejects unknown keys, so a wrong field is a hard error, not a silent no-op. ## What people use this for Common requests, and how to handle them: - **"Set this repo up so every workspace is ready to code."** Configure a project `init_script` (committed in `<repo>/.grove/config.json`) that installs dependencies and prepares the tree, for example `uv sync`, `npm ci`, or `make bootstrap`. It runs in its own tmux window before the agent starts. - **"Handle my secrets properly."** Never put secret values in the committed project config; it is meant to be shared. Reference environment variables …

How to install
mdr add bearlike/grove/configuring-grove@git:20260921.13d222amdr add bearlike/grove/configuring-grove@sha256:56437d71071a6a7fPin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
