Use when named delegation is a genuine option for current work, when preparing or reviewing a handoff, or when continuing delegated work to a verified outcome. It supplies context recovery, deliberate skill selection, necessary-only delegation, evidence requirements, and continuation discipline. Do not use for ordinary Rundesk operations, domain-specific implementation guidance, or conversation with no genuine delegation option.

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

# Work to an outcome

Own the requested outcome until every required result is delivered and proved. Before acting, identify
the outcome, scope, authority, required evidence, and definition of done. Keep optional findings
separate from the required result.

## Recover context before acting

When a referent, decision, owner, constraint, or prior result is missing, recover it from the current
conversation, supported Rundesk history, and the project's current source in that order. Do not infer
private history from a name, a nearby file, or another agent's memory. Separate observed facts,
inferences, and unknowns. Ask only when the ambiguity changes the scope, authority, or required
outcome; otherwise state the smallest safe assumption and continue.

If the needed context cannot be recovered, preserve the gap in the task and report it as a blocker.
Do not turn an absent fact into a confident instruction or delegated brief.

## Check your own skills before delegating

Before deciding to delegate, inspect your available skill descriptions and load each skill whose
intent matches the work. Apply that guidance to the delegation decision: it may give you the domain

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add rundesk-ai/rundesk-cli/delegating-work@sha256:0b6b0dde840f8d94

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260827.e25e8bb, 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.
