Bootstrap · youknowfred

skill

Run this once per machine (not per project) to build the shared plugin venv and warm the offline embedding model cache. Use when a user says "bootstrap memory", "set up hippo", "/hippo:bootstrap", or when /hippo:doctor reports the venv/model cache is missing. Idempotent — safe to re-run; it no-ops via a sentinel file if already bootstrapped. Pass --multilingual to switch to a multilingual embedding model for non-English corpora.

Security audit

Not scanned yet. We audit npm-published capabilities for known advisories, install-time scripts and permission surface; this one has no npm package we can resolve, or has not reached the queue.

Its own instructions

Its SKILL.md says when to use it, shows worked examples and covers setup.

Read from the capability’s own SKILL.md. This is not a grade and does not compare to the instruction-depth verdict on an MCP server — a skill has no tools to document, so that rubric does not apply to it.

You searched for one. Check the rest of your stack:

npx tashan-cli doctor

Reads the config already on your machine and names what is dead, deprecated or running code at install time. No account, nothing uploaded.
