Trigger: a mapping need, parallel units, context backstop, high-risk verify, fresh review, or multi-step debug. Delegate via delegate_task for a named reason.
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
## Activation Contract Load this skill when you are acting as the parent orchestrator and the work ahead has a named reason to delegate: - A map you need to decide or route that exceeds the inline evidence budget (codebase mapping, approach comparison); never to read files you will read anyway before writing inline - A writer reason: 2+ independent units of behavior (code, tests, and docs together; each several minutes of work) launched together, or the context backstop; a large task alone is tracked, not delegated - A high-risk change that needs an independent verifier, or a large task's long suites and builds - Fresh adversarial review (diffs, PR readiness, incident audit); never restart it automatically for a candidate whose terminal `approved` authority was already burned and that is unchanged since, unless a new independent review is deliberately requested - Multi-step debugging that would flood the parent context Do NOT load this skill if you are already inside a delegated child task — you are the executor, not the orchestrator. ## Hard Rules …

How to install
mdr add gentleman-programming/gentle-ai/hermes-ephemeral-delegation@sha256:df9610c4d4d1444aThe 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.
