Start, size, check, hand out, fix and stop a hands-on OpenWork workshop (one private Den + 1-99 Daytona desktops, fictional Outlook/Calendar/Drive/Jira/Confluence). Use when the user says "start the workshop", "give me N workshop desktops", "add seats", "send me the workshop links", "seat N is stuck", "reset the workshop" or "stop the workshop".
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
# Launch a workshop
Scripts live in `scripts/workshop/` (run from the repo root); details and the
safety model are in `worlds/WORKSHOP-FLEET.md`. Private output (attendee links,
member test logins) goes to `~/.openwork/workshops/<stage>/`. Never paste
viewer links anywhere except the facilitator's own conversation unless they ask:
each link controls one attendee's desktop.
## Start ("start the workshop with N seats")
1. Timing: 60–120 minutes before the session, never more than ~3 hours before
(workplace OAuth approvals last about 8 hours).
2. Confirm the size and cost in one line, then run in the foreground (~2 minutes
per wave of ten seats, plus ~2.5 minutes for the Den):
```sh
scripts/workshop/start.sh <seats 1-99> <lifetime-minutes, default 360> <stage, default event> <budget-usd, default 200>
```
It refuses (before creating anything) if the estimate exceeds the budget, the
team quota can't fit the seats, or the app commit isn't merged into dev.
Report that message; don't work around it. A different `<stage>` name gives
an independent second launch (its own Den; seats can't share skills across
launches).

How to install
mdr add different-ai/openwork/launch-workshop@sha256:dece4ef64749186eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261021.5e5586b, 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.
