Use when analyzing a large corpus of text, code, or data that exceeds a single agent's effective context - orchestrates parallel Worker subagents, Critic review subagents, and a final Summarizer subagent with task tracking and failure recovery.

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

# Two-Stage Fan-Out Analysis

Divide a corpus across Worker subagents, review with Critic subagents, synthesize with a Summarizer. Every stage writes to files; every subagent gets its own task.

**Do not use nested subagents.** This workflow may dispatch first-level Worker, Critic, and Summarizer subagents. Those subagents must read their assigned inputs, write their outputs, and return directly to the caller. They must not dispatch additional subagents.

## Overview

```
Corpus → [Workers] → [Critics] → Summarizer → Report
```

**Workers** each analyze a slice of the corpus. **Critics** each review all Worker reports for a subset of segments, checking for gaps and inconsistencies. A single **Summarizer** reads all Critic reports and produces the final output.

## Step 0: Gather Inputs

If the user's intent is not already clear, ask two questions using AskUserQuestion:

**Question 1: What to analyze.** Ask what corpus to analyze and what the analysis goal is. Skip if obvious from context.

**Question 2: Effort level.** Present these options in this order (do not reorder to put recommended first):

| Level | SEGMENTS_PER | REVIEWS_PER | When to use |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ed3dai/ed3d-plugins/doing-a-simple-two-stage-fanout@sha256:2553ba1f688acd19

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260616.eb1d79c, 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.
