Use this skill when performing deterministic mode selection for session-start. Reads Phase A STATE.md recommendations + (future) learnings, sessions, backlog, bootstrap signals and returns {mode, rationale, confidence, alternatives}. Pure-function contract — no side effects, no STATE.md writes. Phase B scaffold (issue #276); full heuristic is follow-up sub-issues.
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
# Mode-Selector Skill ## Status Heuristic v1 active (issue #291, shipped 2026-04-25). Wired into session-start Phase 7.5 (issue #292, shipped 2026-04-25). Backlog signal source live (issue #293, shipped 2026-04-25): `signals.backlog` is populated by `scripts/lib/backlog-scan.mjs::scanBacklog`. Accuracy feedback loop live (issue #294, shipped 2026-04-25): `scripts/lib/mode-selector-accuracy.mjs::recordAccuracy` writes a `mode-selector-accuracy` learning after the user confirms/overrides the Phase 7.5 banner. Phase B contract is **closed**. Phase C (#277) `/autopilot` Loop Command is the next epic and owns its own PRD. ## Purpose Mode-Selector centralizes the session-mode decision across all consumers: session-start Phase 1.5 banner, `/autopilot` (Phase C), and any future caller that needs a structured recommendation rather than ad-hoc heuristics inline at the call site. Before this skill existed, mode-picking logic was either implicit (user-typed free text) or embedded directly in session-start with no reuse path. Phase A (`state-md.mjs::parseRecommendations`, issue #272) established the `recommended-mode` …

How to install
mdr add kanevry/session-orchestrator/mode-selector@sha256:e96ba9bc668117d9The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260725.2475346, 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.
