Improve an existing artifact round after round toward a goal — a page, a prompt, a document, code whose speed matters, a simulation — keeping a change only when it measures better, until rounds bring no confirmed gain. Runs figure-out, define and do; quick by default, thorough when asked or when the stakes call for it. Use when the user asks to hill-climb, optimize, keep improving or make something as good as it can be for its goal, or to continue an earlier climb.
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
Hill-climb the target the arguments name toward the goal they state, in the requester's words, with any measure or results from real use they bring. With no target given or inferable, halt with usage. This command holds no loop of its own: it is the same request made to figure-out, define and do, whose task files for climbs say what a climb owes. Tell each that this is a hill-climb on the target, and pass the request as given. A climb continuing an earlier one names that climb's Manifest or record, found through the execution logs that name this target or the record the requester points to. - **Attended:** invoke `figure-out` with the request, then `define`, with the requester taking part. - **With `--autonomous`:** invoke `figure-out --autonomous` where shared understanding is missing, then `define --autonomous`. Nobody is asked from start to end. Do not set or print a continuation goal during understanding or definition, and tell figure-out that it runs chained under this command, which continues from its Read as a checkpoint: /do owns the completion backstop, and automatic continuation begins at execution. …

How to install
mdr add doodledood/manifest-dev/hillclimb@sha256:b33e9a92e428ff1fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261107.ed1d34b, 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.
