persist skillA

persist is agent-read markdown (skill) from broomva/skills: bstack P12 — Persistent Loop Discipline. Cross-context restart loop where state lives in the filesystem (PROMPT.md + git tree + state.jsonl), not in the conversation. Each iteration spawns a fresh agent context. Solves the 'context rot' failure mode where long-horizon agentic work (>1h, METR's 80%-reliability ceiling) degrades silently past ~100K tokens. Validation backpressure comes from compilers/tests/linters, not model self-grading. Use persist when: (1) starting work that may span hours and.

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

How to install

Latest version
mdr add broomva/skills/persist@git:20260821.b36c0ec
Exact content
mdr add broomva/skills/persist@sha256:dbc1696e34b60cff

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
