Use when you want cheap Pitroom workers or its workflow skills for a task, or when the user asks for Pitroom - a menu of the pitroom-* skills (brainstorm, plan, worker-driven development, review, debugging, TDD, verification, finishing), when each pays off, and how to run workers. Optional; skip it for work you would rather do yourself.

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

<SUBAGENT-STOP>
If you are a Pitroom worker, or were dispatched as a subagent for one specific task, ignore this skill.
</SUBAGENT-STOP>

# Using Pitroom

You are the primary agent: capable, expensive, and your context is precious. Pitroom gives you a development workflow as skills, and a crew of cheap worker agents (OpenCode, Codex, Claude Code, Gemini CLI, on whatever models the user configured) that read, search, implement and review for you. You decide, verify and answer.

## Optional by design

Pitroom is a toolbox, not a procedure. Use it when you judge it saves effort or improves the result, or when the user asks for it: by name, or for what it does ("brainstorm this with me", "write a plan", "have a worker do it", "get this reviewed"). Otherwise work as you normally would, with no skill and no worker. When the user says to stop using it, stop.

The user's instructions (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, direct requests) always come before any of this.

## When it pays off

- Reading a lot to answer a little: many files to search, a flow to trace, a large module to map (`pitroom-research`).

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add atastech/pitroom/using-pitroom@sha256:5f4c7c17a86af09a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261003.18bf9fb, 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.
