Eat the elephant one bite at a time: turn a large list-shaped job into a finite routine that chews a small batch every night, detects when it is done, switches itself off and reports. Triggers: /elephant, eat the elephant, split into bites, make it a routine, ten a day, backfill everything.

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

# 🐘 Слон — большая работа как конечная рутина

## Зачем это существует

Приказ Антона 23.08.2026, голосом, дважды: «рутина может съесть слона за 100 или за 1000 присестов, потихонечку… поняла, что задачу выполнила — выключилась и сказала».

Повод был конкретный: он **месяц** руками вытаскивал тысячи своих YouTube-видео и получил бан от площадки. Та же работа по 12 штук за ночь не банится вообще и не требует его присутствия ни разу.

До 23.08 у нас было ~49 app-рутин и ~160 OS-рутин, и **все до одной бесконечные** — крон по расписанию, живут вечно, конца не предусмотрено. Класса «рутина с концом» не существовало, поэтому большие списочные работы делались героическими сессиями, которые выдыхались на середине.

Движок: `$USERPROFILE/.claude/scripts/elephant.py` (0 LLM, чистый SQLite). Этот скилл — решение «слон или нет» и рецепт сборки.

---

## Шаг 1. Судить: слон это или нет

Тут скилл зарабатывает своё существование. **Соблазн ответить «да» на всё крупное — главная ошибка**, потому что слон, натравленный не на ту работу, режет её на куски, каждый из которых бессмыслен без остальных.

Различай две разные крупности:

| | что это | признак | лечение |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add tonydzi/second-brain-starter-kit/elephant@sha256:d7d66d57794e6048

The 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.
