The World — Create or resume a World harness from Claude Code or Codex, which also runs the bots. Build collaborating characters, their tools and relationship map, verify locally, then connect Slack. Use for "the world start", "world init", "하네스 만들어", "감시 봇 만들어", or continuing this harness's setup; not for arbitrary Slack bot development.

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

# start

Turn a plain-language job into a harness: a process that runs agents on changes, on a
schedule, or when mentioned in Slack. Respond in the language of the user's first message,
without asking which they prefer, and write the questions, the reports, and the generated
documents (`WORLD.md`, `README.md`) in it; switch only when they ask. Keep the term
“하네스”. This is a hands-on learning kit, so the several characters working together are
part of what the user came for. Do not merge characters to simplify setup.

How you get there is yours to decide. What must hold is below.

## Step 0: prerequisites

Before anything else, run `scripts/check-prereqs.py` from this loaded skill's directory
with `python3` (`python` on Windows); add `--runtime claude|codex` once the runtime is
chosen. It checks and reports only. Report each missing item, with the next action it
prints, alongside the first question rather than instead of it. A missing item never holds
up the questions or the design, but installing the kit and verifying wait until the script
exits 0; rerun it before installing.

In the same first reply, state the install profile (see "The profile" below) and where the

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add afinit-com/the-world-skills/start@sha256:712b947f0096d11d

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261021.6a32925, 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.
