A guided first session in the Montaj app: what Montaj is, checking the connection, then walking the user through their first edit from their own footage, from the clips to the exported video. Load it right after Montaj is installed, or when the user asks to get started or what Montaj is.

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

# Getting started with Montaj

Walk the user through their first session, one step at a time. Keep each message short, ask one question at a time, and wait for the answer. Do the work with the Montaj connection's tools. If you have not loaded it yet, call `get_skill` with `mcp`: it says which tool does each thing.

## 1. Say what Montaj is

In two or three lines, for example:

> Montaj is a video editor on your computer that I can drive. You bring your footage; I cut it, caption it and add graphics, and you review it in the Montaj app and export it. Your footage stays on your computer.

## 2. Check the connection

Call `get_plan`.

- It answers with the user's plan: you are connected. Don't read the plan out and don't bring up upgrades.
- "Montaj isn't set up on this computer yet": the app is still opening, or was never opened. Ask the user to open the Montaj app, wait a minute, then try again.
- "Montaj isn't running" or "Montaj isn't open": ask the user to open the Montaj app, then try again.
- "Montaj was moved or updated": ask the user to quit and reopen this AI app so it reconnects.

If the Montaj window still shows its welcome screens, ask the user to finish them first.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add thesampadilla/montaj/onboarding@sha256:e8396227ff97b011

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261009.9add511, 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.
