Concrete patterns for breaking colony work into parallel worker jobs via run_playbook — when fan-out helps, how to model the goal as a tracker table, write the worker skill, author the playbook, pilot, and let convergence retry/resume the gap.
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
## Operational Protocol: Worker Delegation **Applies when** you're in COLONY mode and considering whether (and how) to fan out work to parallel workers via `run_playbook`. Read this before fan-out, not during. ### Mental model: the tracker is the spine, the playbook is the controller You don't coordinate workers by reading their reports and deciding what's next each turn. You model the goal as a **tracker table** where every unit of work is a row, and you write a **playbook** — a deterministic Python script — that drives that table to completion: > The playbook queries the rows that aren't done yet, dispatches one worker per undone row, and re-queries until none are left. Workers advance their own rows. Re-running the playbook resumes — done rows simply aren't in the work-list anymore. This is a reconciliation loop. The tracker is the state; the playbook is the controller that converges it. Three artifacts, three jobs: - **Tracker table** — the durable work-list and its state. The row's status column *is* the progress. - **Skill** (`write_skill`) — the worker's operating procedure: schema, tool sequence, output format, quality bar. The risky part. …

How to install
mdr add aden-hive/hive/hive.worker-delegation@sha256:87c254a1e26d6564The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260809.6dafbbe, 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.
