Telling an agent in its prompt it has "your own isolated worktree" creates nothing — isolation is the dispatch call's `isolation: "worktree"` parameter. Before fanning out agents that will commit, read the CALL back and make each prove where it landed. Prevention, not cleanup.
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
# Agent isolation is a parameter, not a sentence in the prompt ## Problem You are about to fan out several agents that will each commit to their own branch. Your prompt template opens with *"You are running in an isolated git worktree — changes you make here do NOT affect other agents"*, so you dispatch and move on. **That sentence creates nothing.** The worktree is created by the dispatch tool's `isolation: "worktree"` parameter. With the parameter unset, every agent runs in the *same* checkout — and every one of them reports back as though it were isolated, because you told it it was. Nothing errors. Git does not complain that four agents share a working tree; that is a perfectly ordinary thing for a directory to be. The damage arrives as ordinary-looking results: a commit on the wrong branch, a branch that changes under a session mid-run, a test total that is off by one. **Why this specific mistake keeps happening:** the isolation is a *field* in a tool call, and a field is very easy to describe in English and forget to set. The prompt is the part you write by hand and re-read; the parameters are the part you fill in once from a template. So …

How to install
mdr add wan-huiyan/agent-traffic-control/pre-dispatch-agent-isolation-parameter-not-prompt@sha256:b832a632677e8a1dThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
