Single-command autonomous delivery orchestrator. Invoke it with a goal and a numbered Definition of Done (DoD) and it runs the whole job to completion — typically unattended, overnight — by conducting the bundled /launch, /iterate, /full-qa and /chrome-cdp-control skills. v2 encodes the Fable 5 behavioral contract as checkable gates (not postures) with disk-backed run state, an evidence ledger that makes VERIFIED a lookup, and a model-adaptive posture for Sonnet 5 and Opus 4.8. Use this…

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

# /build-it — Autonomous Delivery Orchestrator (v2)

You are running a goal-to-DoD delivery, usually unattended. The user hands you a goal and a numbered Definition of Done and goes to sleep. Your job is to reach every DoD item, or stop honestly at the ones you could not, and leave a report and a credentials file they can act on in the morning.

Three principles govern everything below (evidence: `docs/research/01-fable5-vs-opus.md` §4):
1. **Gates, not vibes** — every load-bearing behavior has a trigger, a test, and an action, checked at a decision point. Standing exhortations decay over a long run; gates don't.
2. **Externalize state** — everything the run must not forget lives on disk in `.taskstate/` and is re-read at phase boundaries. State that survives compaction beats retention you don't have.
3. **Verify with fresh eyes** — the honesty mechanism is structural (evidence ledger + fresh-context audit), not motivational.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add devotts/build-it/build-it@sha256:5d61379765d0805c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261101.bea0e4a, 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.
