Measure whether a council of subagents beats one agent loop on your own tasks, per unit of cost - the same frozen tasks run solo and as a council, judged blind, with the tasks whose outcome flips. Use when the user asks whether subagents or the council are worth it, or invokes /agent-arena-mode:fold-trial.
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 Arena: fold trial
Request: `$ARGUMENTS`. `T` means `python "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/trial.py"` (`py` on Windows), one standalone
command.
Anthropic's guidance: one agent loop with the right skills often matches a lead with subagents, which pay for
themselves only through context isolation, real parallelism or conflicting tools. This trial measures that on the
user's own work instead of assuming it.
1. **Tasks.** Up to 10 frozen tasks with a checkable pass condition (planted bugs, a reference answer, tests), as
`tasks.json` `[{"id", "brief", "rubric", "pass"}]` in a fresh folder under the session scratchpad. Use the user's
tasks; otherwise propose some and get their OK.
2. **Plan and cost.** `T plan --arms solo,council --tasks <tasks.json> --out <dir> [--repeats K]`. It prints the run
count and expected tokens, and refuses more than 40 runs. Show the cost line to the user and get a yes before any
run; raise `--max-runs` only with that yes.
3. **Run each cell** with the byte-identical brief:
- `solo`: one `general-purpose` agent, no further delegation, the relevant role card pasted in as guidance.

How to install
mdr add ahmadhammoud56/moaa/fold-trial@sha256:70a7743bc345e65fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261031.7519e8c, 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.
