Set up or migrate an Overlord-managed machine, and create, modify, diagnose, synchronize, watch, or run a per-user auto-sync service for persistent Claude Code and Codex skills and custom agents through their scope-local .agents sources.

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

Use Overlord as the storage and synchronization workflow for persistent skills and custom agents. Its status, check, sync, and watch commands always inspect the user scope and every project discovered at or beneath the roots in `~/.agents/overlord/overlord.yaml`, regardless of the current working directory.

1. Run `overlord status --json` and inspect every reported scope, definition, action, and diagnostic.
1. Report conflicts, symlinks, and invalid definitions with their `scopePath`, evidence, and filesystem paths. Do not choose a winning side or edit files merely to hide an issue.
1. Create or intentionally modify requested definitions in the affected scope's `.agents/skills` or `.agents/overlord/agents` directory. Do not move a project definition into the user scope or another project.
1. Run `overlord sync`. It uses the last-synchronized state to reconcile unambiguous canonical or provider additions, edits, and deletions within each scope; concurrent incompatible changes remain untouched.
1. Run `overlord check` and report any remaining issue with its exact scope and paths.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add geekforbrains/overlord/overlord@sha256:86a11c111bdfd436

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260812.8594f78, 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.
