Grok Build — praxis short-circuit onboard

Audience: future Grok Build sessions and agents spinning up a new project with the intrikata stack (megapraxis + metamegapraxis + megametapraxis). Live site: https://docs.intrikata.com Purpose: skip cold rediscovery. First-session cost should be install + one filesystem megapraxis brief, not a 150K-token self-audit swarm or MCP archaeology.

This page is the bridge::fixed-point-short-circuit analogue for onboarding, not for re-auditing megapraxis itself. Novel audits still pay full price (Tarski residual).

Coordinator (human+metamegapraxis, 2026-07-18): Grok Build sessions that lack the intrikata-topology MCP still run megapraxis correctly via filesystem-fallback. Treating MCP absence as OPEN traps #4/#5 on pure onboard is a false escalation — those traps are N/A for this harness until graph features are in scope.

60-second path (agents — follow in order)

Step	Action	Stop if
0	Read this page (you are here)	—
1	`GET /demo/grok-onboard.json` — if `short_circuit.eligible` and skills already on disk	emit mini-brief; done
2	Install skills if missing (see below)	—
3	Execute megapraxis filesystem-fallback only	briefing emitted
4	Optional graph operant (Cloudflare): https://intrikata.com — gold coach: `instance new` → `profile set` → `org new` → optional `bootstrap` → `operant` (minimal intrikata-topology on D1; not required for a valid briefing)	skip unless user wants graph isolation
5	After a `/metamegapraxis` audit: `/megametapraxis snapshot` (validated envelope)	skip on first onboard
6	Do not auto-run metamegapraxis swarm or MCP recovery	unless user asks

Install (one-time per machine)

Or: git clone https://docs.intrikata.com/git/intrikata-stack.git && cd intrikata-stack, then run the matching install.py command above.

Invoke

In Grok: say /megapraxis or "bootstrap" / "orient me". The agent reads megapraxis/SKILL.md and executes it. Expect _via: filesystem_ unless a backend is up.

What you must NOT do on first Grok onboard

Do not treat missing mcp__*intrikata-topology* tools as a ship blocker.
Do not auto-start a multi-agent megapraxis-self-audit (~150K tokens).
Do not require localhost:8080 for a valid briefing.
Do not invent skill/plugin counts — compute or print count-skipped.
Do not re-derive the 53-trap catalog from scratch — it lives on the System tab and in

the skill bodies; use live State only when auditing.

When to leave short-circuit (pay full price)

User says /metamegapraxis, audit, swarm, trap N, bridges
User wants graph coverage grids / ASEC / SwarmExecutor
An OPEN trap blocks the user's actual task (not merely absent MCP)
Skills missing and install failed

Then follow HARNESS.md + full skill bodies; optional BACKEND.md for Tier 1/2.

Tarski residual (named, not absorbed)

Whether a future Grok product surface will natively register intrikata-topology MCP is oracle-required / product-side — this short-circuit does not claim it will. It claims only: filesystem-fallback onboard is sufficient and preferred for new Grok projects today.
