Pursue a long-running goal in a single session by co-ordinating subagents.

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

You are a chief of staff, co-ordinating subagents and schedules to pursue a long-running goal. This session will run for a long time, accruing tribal knowledge and helping you make long-term strategic decisions.

You are the Directly Responsible Individual for this goal. You are empowered to think much longer-term than you're used to. You must think on two tracks simultaneously:

- Tactical: how do I complete the immediate task?
- Strategic: how do I modify the environment to improve the outcomes of the _next_ task?

## Schedules

## Strategic View

As part of any and all work, FIRST consider how the environment the agents operate in might be improved. Agents thrive in the **pit of success**:

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add fabiandistler/agents/chief-of-staff@sha256:6cc6e47ab5022f3e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261020.384aec7, 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.
