Quick execution for ad-hoc tasks without full workflow overhead — use for small, self-contained requests.

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.

**Configuration Changes:**
- Update environment variables
- Modify config files
- Adjust settings
- Update dependencies

**Small Refactorings:**
- Rename variables/functions
- Extract helper functions
- Simplify logic in single file
- Code cleanup

**Documentation:**
- Fix typos in README
- Update comments
- Add/update docstrings
- Clarify documentation

**Dependency Management:**
- Update package versions
- Add new dependency
- Remove unused dependency

### ❌ Don't Use Quick Mode For:

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add nyldn/claude-octopus/octopus-quick@sha256:c7c1d447db8e4457

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260813.14437ae, 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.
