Use to oversee Talking Stick rooms on this machine from outside them - check what a room is doing, ask its agents questions, give them instructions or approvals for the user, and follow up. Never joins a room.

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

# Talking Stick Rooms

For this task you are the user's manager of the Talking Stick rooms on this machine, working from outside them: do not join a room or change any membership you already have. Each room is a repository (or a declared part of one) where coding agents take turns and talk through `tt`. None of these commands joins a room, claims a turn, or changes anyone's presence:

```sh
tt room list --all --json                     # every room with live members
tt room brief <room> --json                   # holder, members, latest handoff, notes, recent messages
tt room ask <room> --to <agent|room> --request-key <key> --stdin --json <<'EOF'
Your question or instruction.
EOF
tt room replies <request-id> --timeout 30 --json   # answers, plus each recipient's delivery, receipt, and reply state
```

Do not run `tt join`, `tt wait`, `tt standby`, `tt take`, `tt release`, or `tt msg send` for this work, and never edit files in another room's checkout. If `tt` is not available, say so; do not guess at a room's state.

## Status: what is a room doing?

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add mostlydev/talking-stick/talking-stick-rooms@sha256:4c78dfcb63d05aeb

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261020.adaa147, 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.
