Brief a background agent, confirm the brief arrived, and verify its report before acting on it. Use when writing the prompt for a subagent or parallel session, when several agents will run against one repository, when an instruction sent to a running agent goes unmentioned in its report, when a delegated fix has been rejected and another verification round is about to start, or before relaying a delegate's report onward. Also use when a delegate's final report arrives as a fragment or refers…
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
# Delegate Work and Verify What Comes Back Your only view of delegated work is the delegate's own account of it. That account is written by the one party with an interest in it reading as complete, from a context you cannot inspect, and it is silent in exactly the places where it is wrong. A report that says nothing about instruction four is indistinguishable from a report whose author never received instruction four. The defense is not skepticism, it is structure: make each instruction produce a named artifact, then check the artifacts instead of reading the prose. `research-it` owns what a delegated *conclusion* is worth (a claim, not evidence). `prove-checks` owns whether a *check* could have gone red. This skill owns the orchestrator's side of the exchange: the brief, the delivery, and the report as a whole. ## Trigger - A prompt for a subagent, a background agent, or a parallel session is about to be written. - Two or more agents will run against the same repository or worktree. - A correction, a scope change, or a new instruction was sent to an agent that is already running. …

How to install
mdr add sergeyklay/.agents/delegate-work@sha256:2c345b236b613921The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, 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.
