CRITICAL INTAKE GATEWAY: Use at the start of any non-trivial engineering task, feature, refactor, multi-file bugfix, work package, or new idea—including requests to explore, brainstorm, build, fix, or change something—before planning or code changes. Enforces read-only discovery, 1–3 structured questions with defaults, control-plane registration, and compilation of the immutable four-pillar TASK_SPEC.md.

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

# Work Intake (`os-control-intake`)

Critical intake gateway for discovery, interview clarification, and four-pillar specification authoring before implementation.

## Critical Constraints

1. **Confirm Approver Identity First**: Real work lives in `context/control_plane.db` where only the human operator's signing key approves; simulation runs in `simulation_control_plane.db` with agent test identity (`test-human@local`).
2. **Read Guidance & DB First**: Read `transition_templates.yaml`, `transition-guidance`, and SQLite DB first; say exactly which parts were read, never more.
3. **Artifact Location & Running Ledger**: Task artifacts live in `docs/plans/work-tasks/<task-id>/`, never plans root. Maintain a running ledger of every human directive from first message.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add richfrem/agent-plugins-skills/os-control-intake@sha256:413bab2aab6a1720

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.4.0, 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.
