Builds and improves task-specific decision artifacts from application requirements and labeled records. Use for data assembly, primitive and base-model selection, fitting, export/reload, inference policy, or bounded data/model/program improvement. Includes rules and no-training outcomes; does not require a rung ladder or training a general Jev.

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

# Augustus Train

Deliver a runnable task specialist and its evidence, or retain a better incumbent.
The artifact may be a rule, classifier, ranker, regressor, adapted encoder,
prompted decision, or compiled program. Fit only what the application needs.
Load the companion `augustus` skill for placement and composition;
this skill carries the chosen component from messy records into inference.

## Start from the application, not a training recipe

Write a short executable contract in the application's own files:

- **Decision:** input available at decision time, unit of work, target and label
  vocabulary, output meaning, and downstream action. Separate exact computation,
  bounded judgment, and freeform generation. A multi-step application can contain
  several bounded components; test the complete path as well as each component.
- **Policy:** action costs or useful outcome metric, hard constraints, ambiguity,
  missing evidence, invalid output, timeout, abstention/fallback, and authority.
  Define tie rules and unknown/no-match separately from a real class.
- **Acceptance:** incumbent, minimum useful change or non-inferiority margin,

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add 24601/augustus/augustus-train@sha256:6fa43a430ac76738

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.8.2-dev, 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.
