Use when running karr-foundation — periodic agent execution across several karr boards, drain loops, ticket mode, named agents, the coordination agent and its assignment, the hub chain and question mailbox, auto-block logic.

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

# karr-foundation — Periodic Agent Executor for karr Boards

Single-shot daemon that monitors multiple karr boards and runs an agent command
when work is available. Designed for cron/systemd-timer invocation.

## Quick start

```bash
# Config at ~/.config/karr-foundation/config.yml
dirs:
  - /path/to/repo1
  - /path/to/repo2
scan:
  - /path/to/parent-dir   # finds dirs with .karr file

# Per-repo .karr file (in each repo root)
command: claude -p "Use karr-coordinator agent, pick next task"
on_idle: skip
drain: true
max_runtime: 1800
max_attempts: 2

# Run via cron every 5 minutes
*/5 * * * * karr-foundation
```

## Run modes

`mode` says what one pass over a repo is:

- **`drain`** (default) — run the agent again and again until the board stops
  moving. See [references/drain.md](references/drain.md).
- **`single`** — exactly one agent run; the agent still chooses its own work.
- **`ticket`** — exactly one agent run, about **one card foundation names**.

The `drain: true|false` alias, the full drain-loop classification table, and
ticket-mode's eligibility and scoring: [references/drain.md](references/drain.md).

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add getty/karr/karr-foundation-cli@sha256:36c3c396ee6237f3

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260927.3f0a7a5, 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.
