Set up Swarm Oversight Harness in a repo — inventory which project docs already exist, pick a profile, and create only the missing ones (CHARTER, STATE, DECISIONS, JOURNAL, threads). Use when the user says "set up swarm oversight", "start a new project with this workflow", "add the harness to this repo", "bootstrap CHARTER/STATE", or hands you a project path to organize for multi-agent work.
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
# Swarm Oversight Harness · Setup Goal: after this skill runs, any agent, or the human after two weeks away, can rebuild the project's real state from its docs alone. You **add what is missing** and never rebuild a structure the repo already has. Full rationale: [MANUAL.md](https://github.com/cogito233/swarm-oversight-harness/blob/main/MANUAL.md) §2 (docs), §7 (checklist), §8 (doc hygiene). ## Step 0 · Is this a project at all? Ask one question: *does this work need a plan that could be wrong, and do results from several agents need to be merged back together?* - **No** → it is a one-off task. Tell the user that the harness would be pure overhead, and do the task directly. - **Yes** → continue. ## Step 1 · Inventory (read-only) Read the repo's entry docs first (README, AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md, any docs/ index). Do not scan the whole tree. For each **role** below, find the file that already fills it, whatever its name: | Role | What it holds | Needed | |---|---|---| | CHARTER | why, goal, non-goals, hard limits | always | | STATE | one-screen board: each thread's stage, evidence, next step, what waits on the human; the one **critical path**; the accept queue | always | …

How to install
mdr add cogito233/swarm-oversight-harness/swarm-setup@sha256:4ad24c29432caf86The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261101.474806c, 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.
