Use when the user explicitly asks to delegate work to a persistent sidekick/helper agent in its own pane that you can iterate with across multiple rounds (e.g. review -> fix -> re-review) without losing its context each time, or when another skill's instructions explicitly direct invoking sidekick-go. Do not use for a one-off review or one-shot subagent task; that's the Agent/Task tool's job.

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

Get a **sidekick**: a dedicated helper agent that lives in its own pane for as long as you need it, so you can go back and forth with the *same* agent — review, fix, re-review — without it forgetting round one by round three. That persistence is the whole point: a fresh subagent (Agent/Task tool) starts cold every call and has to be re-briefed each time; a sidekick remembers.

This skill only works **inside a supported multiplexer session** (herdr or zellij; the transport is selected automatically, herdr by default). If no multiplexer session is active, stop and tell the user to start herdr (or zellij) first.

You (the caller) don't launch anything for yourself — you're already running in a live pane. `dispatch.mjs` finds that pane, opens the sidekick's pane next to it, and wires messaging between the two via the shared bus (the same mechanism `launch-team` uses for its teammates).

## Step 1 — Decide the role and write the brief

Pick a role for the sidekick (e.g. "Code Reviewer", "Second Opinion", "Investigator"). Write a **brief**: a self-contained description of its first task. Save it to the OS temp directory (not the workspace) and capture its **absolute path**.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add atman-33/workhub/sidekick-go@sha256:06343dc00ab00927

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260901.114c610, 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.
