Run or integrate coding-agent CLIs in scripts and batches, preserving the selected model, execution permissions, structured outputs, and telemetry. Use for CLI adapters, bounded parallel runs, or CLI model comparisons; not ordinary interactive work or direct provider-API workflows.
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
# Programmatic Agents Run the user-requested model through its selected coding-agent CLI without silently substituting another model. Treat coding-agent login, subscription access, and provider API access as separate authorization surfaces. Special preview model identifiers must be supplied by the user for the current task. Do not name, suggest, hardcode, or infer preview identifiers from prior sessions or local availability. Keep reusable examples generic, using placeholders such as `$MODEL_ID`. This skill covers agent invocation and execution mechanics. When building an orchestrator with multiple stages, shared resources, batch joins, or durable resume, also consult [live-ai-pipelines](../live-ai-pipelines/SKILL.md); consult [ai-engineering](../ai-engineering/SKILL.md) for admission, retries, concurrency, and timing. Provider adapters do not substitute for workflow dependency design. ## Choose the execution surface Use the coding-agent CLI selected by the user or existing workflow. Check its installed capabilities, authentication, permissions, and output format; do not silently substitute another CLI or model. …

How to install
mdr add swyxio/skills/programmatic-agents@sha256:8386e444276f0750The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261018.3184acf, 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.
