Do not invoke directly — called by the simmer orchestrator. Inspects the artifact or workspace, infers evaluation contracts and search space, proposes an assessment for user confirmation, and emits the setup brief that drives the entire refinement loop.
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
# Simmer Setup Inspect the artifact, infer what "better" means and how to measure it, propose an assessment to the user, produce the setup brief that drives the entire refinement loop. **Core principle:** Inspect first, infer second, propose third, confirm last. The agent does the thinking — the user validates, adjusts, or overrides. Never ask the user to describe something the agent can read. ## Phase 1: Identify and Inspect ### Identify the Artifact Look for: - A file path mentioned or open in context - Text pasted by the user - A directory path or workspace - A description of something to generate from scratch (seedless mode) If ambiguous, ask once: ``` What are we refining? 1. A file (give me the path) 2. Something you'll paste 3. A workspace/directory (give me the path) 4. Generate from a description (I'll create the starting point) ``` Set mode and artifact type: | Mode | Artifact Type | When | |------|--------------|------| | **from-file** | single-file | User provides a file path | | **from-paste** | single-file | User pastes content | | **from-workspace** | workspace | User provides a directory path | …

How to install
mdr add 2389-research/simmer/simmer-setup@sha256:d6a0efe687ca2134The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260706.3f264f4, 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.
