Use when a dispatched agent routes a question, progress, or status to its main agent.

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

## Overview

Discuss work details and authorization directly with the user; the main agent accepts those decisions.
Ask it only for integrated context or a coordinator-owned action result.
Address every operation by your instruction path.

Live bodies carry one delta in at most two sentences.
Put detailed context or evidence in repeatable `--ref`; transport adds identity, intent, and correlation.

## Ask the main agent

From `awaiting-user-input` or `awaiting-authorization`, report `awaiting-main-agent`
with the needed action or fact before asking; transport enforces this order, while progress notes preserve the checkpoint.

```bash
uv run --script "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/send-dispatch-message.py" \
  --instruction-path <your exact instruction path> \
  --to main --intent question \
  --message "<one integration question; include expected reply shape>" \
  --ref "<source or artifact when needed>"
```

Continue independent work.
If the coordinator's answer becomes blocking, report `awaiting-main-agent`; a user-owned question remains `awaiting-user-input`.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add wayne930242/straw-boss/notifying-main-agent@sha256:9cea981a8fa5a45c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260922.d69dc39, 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.
