Read and update Working Genius work files — the work's folder holding the bounded snapshot a cold session acts on, the append-only log behind it, and the contract that binds the unbuilt slices. Use when a stage skill needs the work-file discipline, when the user asks what work is in flight or where a piece of work left off, or before resuming any work tracked under .genius/.
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
# The Work File One piece of work = one folder at `.genius/<slug>/` (a `## Working Genius` section in `CLAUDE.md`/`AGENTS.md` may pin a different parent), holding: - the **snapshot** `<slug>.md`, the work's current truth, bounded - the **log**, everything that happened on the way, append-only, as a tree: the root `<slug>.log.md` naming one branch per stage, slice or contract version under `log/` - the **contract** `CONTRACT.md`, what binds the slices not yet built - the work's own artifacts The shape of all of it — templates, the compaction question, the ceiling and its instrument, the invariant, the link rules — is [FILE-FORMAT.md](FILE-FORMAT.md), the one home for those rules; the backlog's shape is [BACKLOG-FORMAT.md](BACKLOG-FORMAT.md), and the measurements behind the rules are [FORMAT-EDGES.md](FORMAT-EDGES.md). The concept: **the files, not conversation memory, carry the work — and what a work knows grows by three different laws, so it gets three files with three different rules.** Conflate any two and the file grows with every discovery until nobody reads it closely, which is how a record dies while still being written to. What that takes: …

How to install
mdr add donald-ada/workinggenius/genius-file@sha256:1f899fe8edb5292dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261031.af1ac5b, 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.
