Use when designing or auditing how an agent becomes useful after launch — AGENTS.md overlays, role files, skills, rig specs, workflow specs, startup checklists, refocus messages, "rig context" surface. Covers the 4 failure modes that make startup context fail (old rig spec misses current operating mode; current agents never told about new guidance; startup file as dumping ground; orchestrator transmits implementation without preserving product intent).

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

We found nothing in the files we read that matches our rules. That does not prove the skill is safe: see the limits of static scanning.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'agent-startup-and-context-ingestion' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'agent-startup-and-context-ingestion' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named agent-startup-and-context-ingestion already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'd9292d5b0464c242a4c8d8da4bda7c42bce0b564' -- 'packages/daemon/specs/agents/shared/skills/core/agent-startup-and-context-ingestion' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'packages/daemon/specs/agents/shared/skills/core/agent-startup-and-context-ingestion' ~/.agents/skills/'agent-startup-and-context-ingestion' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'agent-startup-and-context-ingestion' ~/.claude/skills/'agent-startup-and-context-ingestion' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
