Keep shell and tool output small, and page or search full outputs kept by the optional OMD output-budget component.

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

Read only what you need:

- Find before reading: `rg -n PATTERN PATH` (add `-g GLOB`, `-m N`, `-C N`), `rg -l` for file names, `wc -l FILE` before opening a file of unknown size.
- Read ranges: `sed -n 'START,ENDp' FILE`, `head -n N`, `tail -n N`. Don't `cat` a large file, a lockfile, generated code, minified bundles or logs.
- Keep commands' own output short (`--quiet`, `--oneline`, `--stat`, `--porcelain`, a test filter). Don't add `| head` or `| tail` to a command whose effects or exit status matter; a pipe can stop the producer early and hides its exit code.

When the separately trusted `omd_output_budget` component is enabled:

- A large result arrives as an excerpt ending with `[omd_output_budget: … full output out_… …]`. The excerpt keeps the command header and exit status, the first and last lines and, for a failed call, the error and warning lines from the middle. Don't rerun the command to see more.
- A large source file read arrives as its first lines plus an outline of later definitions with file line numbers. Read the range you need with `sed -n 'START,ENDp' FILE`.
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add dzkchen/oh-my-diff/omd-output-budget@sha256:0c7780577dbc5066

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261102.0f6fbe6, 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.
