Adversarial multi-agent development pipeline. Use when the user says "take the next task", "work through tasks", "run the pipeline", or wants to implement a task from the task board with full planning, review, implementation, and QA cycle. Supports flags: --worktree (force worktree mode), --no-worktree (force branch-only mode). These override the saved setting for the current run only. Supports positional arg: a task number or ID (e.g. `/maw-execute-task 3`, `/maw-execute-task TASK-003`) to…

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

# Adversarial Multi-Agent Development

## Settings

Pipeline settings are stored in `maw/settings.json`. The orchestrator checks this file at the start of every run. **Schema v2** (providers are first-class):

```json
{
  "worktree_mode": "always",
  "default_provider": "host",
  "spawn_timeout_min": 30,
  "allow_unverified_profile": false,
  "providers": {
    "claude": { "default_model": "sonnet",      "default_effort": "medium" },
    "codex":  { "default_model": "gpt-6.1-sol", "default_effort": "medium" }
  },
  "agents": {
    "code-reviewer": { "provider": "codex", "model": "gpt-6.1-sol", "effort": "xhigh" },
    "planner":       { "model": "opus" }
  }
}
```

Agent names everywhere are the agent file stems: `clarifier`, `premise-challenge`, `planner`, `plan-reviewer-1`, `plan-reviewer-2`, `implementer`, `code-reviewer`, `fixer`, `qa`.

- `worktree_mode`: `always` — always create a git worktree for the task (default if user picks this); `never` — work on a feature branch directly, no worktree; `ask` — ask the user each time before starting a task
- `default_provider`: `"host"` (literal, default) = the harness this orchestrator is running in; or pin to `"claude"` / `"codex"`.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add pockerhead/maw/maw-execute-task@sha256:3606b2a3e91c5a38

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261031.5aa685d, 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.
