Unified Minions skill for both deterministic shell jobs and LLM subagent orchestration. Replaces the older `gbrain-jobs` routing intent. Use when: submitting gbrain jobs, shell/background tasks, spawning subagents, checking progress, steering running work, pausing/resuming, parallel fan-out. One durable, observable, steerable queue interface. Also carries the durable-execution doctrine for any operation expected to exceed ~2 minutes: capability ladder, deadman checks that verify the result…
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
# Minion Orchestrator ## Contract Minions is a Postgres-native job queue for durable, observable background work. This single skill handles two lanes: - Deterministic shell jobs (`gbrain jobs submit shell ...`) - LLM subagent jobs (`gbrain agent run ...`) When to route to Minions: durable, observable work that must survive restarts, fan out across many parallel tasks, or persist across sessions. Routing policy is defined in `skills/conventions/subagent-routing.md` — the project default is `pain_triggered` (native subagents first, Minions after specific pain signals fire); Mode A (all-through-Minions) is opt-in. Guarantees: - Jobs survive gateway restart (Postgres-backed) - Every job has structured progress, token accounting, and session transcripts - Running agents can be steered mid-flight via inbox messages - Jobs can be paused, resumed, or cancelled at any time - Parent-child DAGs with configurable failure policies Durable-execution doctrine (routing convention the agent follows — nothing mechanically enforces it; see "Durable execution" below): - Operations expected to exceed ~2 minutes route through the capability …

How to install
mdr add garrytan/gbrain/minion-orchestrator@sha256:6a760a72a54d9046The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.0, 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.
