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

# Valkyrie — Design Draft v0.1

Name: **Valkyrie** (renamed from Overseer on 2026-10-07); the command is `valk`. Status: **draft for evaluation by Claude Code + Opus**. Nothing here is validated by code yet. Items marked **[VERIFY]** are claims from a quick survey (Oct 2026) that must be checked against primary sources before they drive decisions.

## 1. One-liner

A Rust daemon + TUI + PWA that sits *above* coding-agent CLIs (Claude Code, Codex, others) as a manager of managers. Its two core ideas: an **attention queue** that tells you which agent needs you next and why, and a **project context layer** that carries decisions across sessions and agents so you stop pasting handoff docs.

Standalone, open source, MIT/Apache-2.0 candidate. Success criterion: the author prefers it over herdr for daily use.

## 2. Goals / non-goals

Goals
- Attention-first UX: the primary screen is a ranked inbox, not a grid of sessions.
- Persistent, reviewable, supersedable project decisions with provenance, injected into every agent automatically.
- Zed-class responsiveness: input latency and render speed are product features, not nice-to-haves.
- TUI and web are equal clients of one daemon API.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add bjschnell/valkyrie/DESIGN.md@sha256:bff98db3b32ebe93

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261106.364eeef, 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.
