**Read before running a long-lived agent/coding CLI as a shell subprocess**, or before setting up cron/launchd/systemd timers or scheduled reminders. Routes shell-side async+poll supervision, host-scheduler setup, LingTai wake-by-mailbox-drop, one-shot reminders, safe cleanup, and the bounded, verified discipline for durable filesystem reads and edits. Per-backend CLI operational detail (command shapes, flags, env contracts) for daemon-backed CLIs lives in `daemon-manual` →…

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

# Shell manual — router

Use the schema for a short, deterministic command. Read one focused route before
long-lived/coding-CLI work, scheduling, an unfamiliar workflow, or recovery.
The selected dialect, policy, and working-directory sandbox remain boundaries.
A-priori root `summarize` defaults to true. Use it for anticipated long, bulky
output; set `summarize=false` for expected short results or required exact text
(for example a mandatory gate, path, field, source or diff). Give CLEAR retention
targets in `reasoning`: status, key fields, counts and evidence, not extra
interpretation. Narrow the read. Summaries are lossy;
the raw original remains preserved for targeted recovery.

## Route by task

| Task | Read one direct reference |
|---|---|
| Long command/CLI; `job_id`, `poll`, `cancel`, reminder, completion, relaunch, or async recovery | [async jobs](reference/async-jobs/SKILL.md) |
| Recurring or time-triggered work | [scheduled work](reference/scheduled-work/SKILL.md) |
| One future self-wakeup | [notification reminders](reference/notification-reminders/SKILL.md) |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add lingtai-ai/lingtai-kernel/shell-manual@sha256:c648d0fa40c0da56

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.16.0, 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.
