Use when named by the user or when a main agent reports Straw Boss coordination friction.

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

## Resolve the recipient

Find or open the assistant through [agent-feedback](../agent-feedback/SKILL.md).
Route a report to the existing assistant.
Keep a report's blocked step pending until its recipient is reachable; independent work can continue.

## Repair the coordination relationship

A report states expected versus actual behavior and the blocked step; references carry the task/plan, running version, reproduction, and evidence.
Acknowledge its message id and combine reports with the same evidenced root cause.

Identify the owner and the relationship blocking progress: registration, endpoint, dependency, shared resource, checkpoint, or cleanup.
Accept each task owner's work conclusions and verify the coordination state needed for the repair.
Apply mutations serially through their owners using [dispatching-work](../dispatching-work/SKILL.md), [contacting-orchestrators](../contacting-orchestrators/SKILL.md), or [handoff-orchestrator](../handoff-orchestrator/SKILL.md).
User-owned conflicts return to the user while current direction stands.

Read back the repaired state and have the reporting main agent exercise its blocked step and next handoff.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add wayne930242/straw-boss/boss-assistant@sha256:2d91e138b33a8d57

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260920.1ec11bf, 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.
