Compress an agent's routing file (RESOLVER.md or AGENTS.md) by converting granular skill-per-row tables into functional-area dispatchers. Each area lists sub-skills in a "(dispatcher for: ...)" clause. The LLM reads one area entry and routes to the correct sub-skill. Proven via held-out A/B eval: dispatcher pattern outperforms naive pipe-table compression.
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
# Functional-Area Resolver — Pattern for Compressing Routing Tables ## Problem Routing files (RESOLVER.md, AGENTS.md) grow as skills are added. Each skill gets its own row (trigger -> skill path). At ~200+ skills this hits 25-30KB, eating context budget that should go to actual work. ## Solution: Functional-Area Dispatchers Replace N rows per area with **one entry per functional area**. Each entry lists all sub-skills it can dispatch to in a `(dispatcher for: ...)` clause. ### Before (270 rows, 25KB) ``` - Creating/enriching a person or company page -> `enrich` - Fix broken citations in brain pages -> `citation-fixer` - Publish/share a brain page as link -> `brain-publish` - Generate PDF from brain page -> `brain-pdf` - Read a book through lens of a problem -> `strategic-reading` - Personalized book analysis -> `book-mirror` - Brain integrity -> `brain-librarian` ... ``` ### After (13 rows, 13KB) ``` - **Brain & knowledge**: create/enrich/search/export brain pages, filing, citations, publishing, book analysis, strategic reading, concept synthesis, archive mining -> `brain-ops` (dispatcher for: enrich, query, brain-pdf, …

How to install
mdr add garrytan/gbrain/functional-area-resolver@sha256:fe6e35fbb34dffecThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
