The contract every playbook shares - the brief a writer receives, the rules it writes by, the handback it returns, and the store record the holder keeps. Reuse existing checks and add tests only for concrete uncovered behavior or risk.

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

<!-- maestro-skill-version: dev -->

# maestro-work

The matched playbook (`maestro recipe show <name>`, chosen by
[Routing](~/maestro/WORKFLOW.md#routing)) owns the steps of a task. This
skill owns what every playbook shares: the brief a writer receives, the rules
it writes by, the handback it returns, and the record the holder keeps. A
writer is a `delegate` subagent, a lane in a Herdr pane, or the main chat on
a quickfix. Apply [WORKFLOW.md](~/maestro/WORKFLOW.md) for method rules;
pause only the slice blocked by scope or authority.

## Dispatch

When work is handed to a writer (a `delegate` subagent, or a lane in a
Herdr pane in the room), send this envelope:

```text
Objective: <observable outcome>
Owned scope: <paths or responsibility>
Excluded scope: <explicit non-goals>
Mutation: <no-write | write-bounded: paths>
Stop condition: <done or blocked boundary>
Lane: scout | decision | delivery | challenge | shadow
Evidence required: <proof and layer>
```

A tiny task may collapse the envelope to three lines, but it never drops
`Excluded scope` or `Mutation`. Name the playbook and step the work serves,
and point at files rather than pasting their content. Standing orders that
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add reinamaccredy/maestro/maestro-work@sha256:080ae643a2a71dc2

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261015.bda094d, 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.
