Use for an unfamiliar or consequential Avatar spawn, shallow/deep choice, detached lifecycle, recovery, or footprint review. Routine schema-sufficient spawns can use the tool directly.
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
# Avatar Manual
Avatar creates a **persistent, independent peer** as a detached process. Use
`daemon` for disposable work and `shell` for a one-off command. After launch,
communicate by mail/email; there is no ongoing Avatar handle.
## Routine spawn: direct path
The schema is enough for a routine call; do not load this manual as a ritual.
Use all five strict spawn-input keys and put the mission in root `reasoning`:
```text
avatar(action="spawn",
input={"name": "researcher", "type": null,
"dry_run": false, "confirm": false},
reasoning="Inspect the heartbeat regression; report evidence by mail and change no code.")
```
State objective, resources, reporting route, done condition, and constraints.
`name` is the canonical sibling basename, not a separate display name. Spawn
creates an independent life: obtain authorization, and do not batch it with
unrelated calls. `dry_run=true` previews without writes or a process, **not**
launch admissibility; `confirm=true` acknowledges only mission review.

How to install
mdr add lingtai-ai/lingtai-kernel/avatar-manual@sha256:aa6df5a913a6348fThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.5.0, 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.
