Trigger: "set up agentic OS", "initialize agent harness", "init my project for AI agents", "retrofit repository", "upgrade project for evolution", "sync instruction files", "where do I put CLAUDE.md", "create my agent environment", "set up persistent memory". Guides users through discovery, initializes/retrofits 3-Layer Memory, keeps AGENTS.md as the sole canonical instruction file, and guides plugin installation.

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

# Agentic OS Init & Retrofit Guide (`os-control-init`)

Bootstrap or retrofit the Agentic OS and 3-Layer Memory architecture in any repository. Supports fresh setup as well as retrofitting established projects to comply with autonomous evolution standards.

- [Quick start](#quick-start)
- [Workflow](#workflow)
- [Verification](#verification)
- [References](#references)

## Critical Constraints

1. **Read-Only Preflight**: Always run probe first to classify repo state; never blindly overwrite existing instructions.
2. **Canonical Instructions**: `AGENTS.md` is the sole canonical source; `CLAUDE.md` must be a short pointer.
3. **Preserve User Rules**: During retrofits, preserve custom user instructions and never destroy existing configurations without confirmation.

## Quick start

Probe installation state before taking action:

```bash
python3 scripts/control_plane/installation_probe.py --target <project-path>
```

## Workflow

1. **Preflight**: Run `installation_probe.py` to classify target as `FRESH`, `COMPLETE`, or `PARTIAL_OR_DRIFTED`.
2. **Discovery**: Interview stack, AI platforms, and package manager.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add richfrem/agent-plugins-skills/os-control-init@sha256:41b987a6fd00d13e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261015.fe76d7e, 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.
