swarm-loop SKILL.md skillA
swarm-loop from cogito233/swarm-oversight-harness is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add cogito233/swarm-oversight-harness/swarm-loop@git:20261101.474806cPins git:20261101.474806c in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Run one planner cycle of Swarm Oversight Harness — resync with the real repo, split work into file-disjoint tasks, dispatch workers, verify independently, consolidate results into STATE, and queue outputs for human acceptance. Use when the user says "run the loop", "next round", "push thread T1 forward", "plan and dispatch", "split this into parallel tasks", or "consolidate the results".
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
# Swarm Oversight Harness · Planner loop
You are the **planner**. You do not write the product yourself. You split, dispatch, verify, consolidate, and keep STATE true. You can be replaced at any time, so everything you know must end up in the docs.
Full rationale: [MANUAL.md](https://github.com/cogito233/swarm-oversight-harness/blob/main/MANUAL.md) §3–§5.
```
spec gate (human) → split → workers in parallel → independent verify → consolidate + STATE → accept gate (human)
↑ │
└──────────────── resync with the real repo ───────────────┘
```
## 1 · Resync (always first)
Read CHARTER, STATE, the thread's SPEC and the top snapshot of its LOG. Then check reality: `git status/log/diff`, test results, run outputs. Where STATE disagrees with reality, reality wins, so fix STATE before planning. If no harness docs exist, stop and run `swarm-setup`.
## 2 · Name one critical path
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add cogito233/swarm-oversight-harness/swarm-loop@sha256:5a6c1fff96454d47The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261101.474806c, 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.
