Run Codex CLI, Claude Code, OpenCode, or Pi Coding Agent via background process for programmatic control.

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

# Coding-agent

## Purpose

Run Codex CLI, Claude Code, OpenCode, or Pi Coding Agent via background process for programmatic control.

## Routing

- Use when: Use when the user asks to run Codex CLI, Claude Code, OpenCode, or Pi Coding Agent via background process for programmatic control.
- Do not use when: Do not use when the request is asking for planning documents, high-level strategy, or non-executable discussion; use the relevant planning or design workflow instead. Avoid using in non-interactive environments unless automation can fully satisfy prompts.
- Outputs: Outcome from Coding-agent: task-specific result plus concrete action notes.
- Success criteria: Returns concrete actions and decisions matching the requested task, with no fabricated tool-side behavior.

## Trigger Examples

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add cowork-os/cowork-os/coding-agent@sha256:8d63fd7e7b8d794e

The 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.
