Run a multi-step task on the Mac as a formal plan that is type-checked, executed, verified, and logged - instead of improvising bash step by step. Use for any task with more than two or three steps, anything that ends in an irreversible action (send, pay, post, submit), or anything the user will want to debug afterward. This is Chewbacca's agent runtime.

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 Chewbacca runtime: plan, execute, verify, log

For anything longer than a couple of steps, do not freehand a sequence of commands.
Compile the request into one formal plan, check it, run it, and read the trace.

The reason is arithmetic, not style. Twenty improvised steps at 95% reliability each
is a 36% success rate (see `docs/BENCHMARKS.md`). A checked plan that stops at the
first failure and gates every irreversible action does not compound errors that way.
This is the Genie / executable-semantic-parser idea (Campagna, Xu, Lam; Liang):
compile intent into a typed, checkable representation that runs or errors cleanly,
rather than letting the model improvise.

## The grammar

`data/grammar.json` defines the command space: `stream => query* => action*`.

- **stream** - when it runs: `now`, `every`, `on_text`, `on_file`, `on_calendar`
- **query** - reads, no side effects: `texts`, `screen`, `web`, `app_data`, `file`
- **action** - side effects: `click`, `type`, `web_click`, `web_fill`, `remind`,
  `calendar`, `send_text`, `send_email`, `run_shell`

Every parameter is typed. Every irreversible action carries `confirm: true` in its
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add calebnewtonusc/chewbacca/mac-runtime@sha256:8dc1bee64b0d376e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260904.ee0eb1b, 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.
