Start-of-session situational report for a research or code repository. Reads the handoff, log, or status files the project actually keeps, checks live git state, and reports the objective, verified baseline, open tasks, blockers, and next actions, flagging where the documents and the repository disagree. Use when resuming work after time away or before changing anything. Its end-of-session twin is finished.
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
# Situational report Answer one question: **where does this project actually stand right now?** The value is in the gap between what the project's own documents claim and what the repository shows. Report the gap; never launder a stale document into a current fact. ## 0. Defer to the repository first `Glob` for `.claude/commands/*sitrep*.md` and `.claude/commands/*status*.md` — the patterns catch variants such as `project-sitrep.md`. If one matches, `Read` it, follow its instructions instead of the steps below, and say which file you used. If several match, pick the closest name and say which. Otherwise continue here. ## 1. Learn the project's conventions Read `CLAUDE.md` and `AGENTS.md` if present; they usually state the handoff or logging convention. Fall back to `README.md` for orientation. Then find the project's own memory: `HANDOFF.md`, `CODEX_HANDOFF.md`, `STATUS.md`, `SESSION_LOG.md`, `NOTES.md`, or a `logs/` directory with dated entries. Use what the project has. If it keeps none, say so rather than inventing a format. ## 2. Check live state ``` git status --short git log --oneline -n 8 git branch --show-current git status -sb | head -1 ``` …

How to install
mdr add scdenney/open-science-skills/sitrep@sha256:122248ed0ce058f7The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261105.dee0bc5, 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.
