director SKILL.md skillA

director from colinsurprenant/director is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add colinsurprenant/director/director@git:20261027.b41c438

Pins git:20261027.b41c438 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Coordination protocol for working alongside other concurrent Claude Code sessions through the shared Director log. Use whenever you make a decision, defer a follow-up, hit a blocker, reach a handoff boundary, or need to leave context for a parallel/future session — anything that another session "should know." Covers how and when to run `director emit` and `director resolve`, and how to treat the CHARTER + digest injected at session start.

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

# Director coordination protocol

You are one of many concurrent Claude Code sessions a single human runs across many repos. You
coordinate with the others through a shared, durable, append-only **LOG** — not by relaying
messages through the human. The `director` CLI is the **only** sanctioned writer of that log:
**never** use Edit/Write to record coordination state, and never hand-edit the log file.

Your transient working state (what you decided, what you deferred, where you are) survives a
compaction or a fresh start **only if you wrote it to the LOG during a turn.** No hook can flush
it for you. The habit below is the real guarantee against lost context — treat it as load-bearing.

## 1. Continuous boundary-flush (the load-bearing habit)

Emit durable state to the LOG **as you work** — do not batch it for the end of the session — and
treat an emit as a tool call, not a turn.

- Emit a decision or a deferred follow-up **in the turn it arises**. An item written that turn
  survives an unexpected compaction; an item you were "going to log at the end" is exactly what
  gets lost.
- **Ride along, never stand alone.** Put the `director emit` in the same message as your next
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add colinsurprenant/director/director@sha256:2a4c2c874ea6f6c0

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261027.b41c438, 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.
