Launch and manage the crux cockpit — the read-only browser GUI over a crux research vault (`crux serve`). This skill runs it beginning to finish: locate the vault, start the server fresh on localhost, verify it actually serves, and hand the user one clickable URL — plus status / stop / restart, and a setup-or-demo path when no vault exists yet. Works wherever the agent runs: local machine, VS Code Remote-SSH (drives the port forward itself via `code --openExternal`), or a plain SSH terminal…
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
# crux-cockpit — launch the crux GUI, beginning to finish The **cockpit** is crux's read-only browser GUI: `crux serve` boots a stdlib HTTP server on `127.0.0.1`, serves the `webui/` frontend, and exposes the vault as `/snapshot.json` (a tree colored by each node's derived state and confidence — open, leaning, settled, parked — with pan / zoom / collapse / search / re-orient / focus one question, plus node detail with rendered markdown, each node's findings with their direction, confidence and evidence, and a hypothesis's linked report and figures; live-refreshing, zero writes). Either panel can go full-screen (`[` / `]`, `Esc` restores). The engine does the serving; **you (the agent) do the operating**: find the vault, launch clean, verify, hand over one URL, and manage the server's lifecycle. The user should never have to touch a terminal **on the machine you run on** — the one thing you can't do for them is start a local `ssh -L` tunnel (plain-SSH contexts only; see **Local vs remote**). The engine rides in the **crux** skill: `ENGINE = <crux skill>/scaffold/crux.py` — the crux skill is this skill's sibling directory in your skills dir (in a repo clone, …

How to install
mdr add mehdiforoozandeh/crux/crux-cockpit@sha256:2d5b6d223b5fd1d0The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, 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.
