Coordinate multiple long-running agents or workers while preserving the global goal, current evidence, and timely steering. Use when supervising tmux or managed agents, delegating parallel work, reconciling queued corrections, preventing workers from acting on stale direction, or serving as mission control across experiments, jobs, and implementation streams.
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
# Mission Control Maintain the global objective while workers execute bounded tasks. Treat steering as a control signal, not a FIFO inbox. ## Establish The Current Control State Before steering, maintain a compact view of: - global objective and current decision; - each worker's owned task; - last verified evidence or artifact; - current indivisible operation, if any; - next state-changing action; - pending correction and whether it is still current. Inspect the worker's actual pane, log, job, or artifact before relying on its summary. Refresh this state after a user correction, completed experiment, failure, commit, submission, or other decision-changing event. ## Keep The Mission State Disposable If the campaign needs a state file, make it a current-state dashboard, not a second lab notebook. - Update it in place; do not append chronology. - Keep it short, ideally under 80 lines. Delete resolved tasks, stale job states, superseded corrections, and metrics that no longer affect a decision. - Include only the global objective and current decision, active baseline, worker ownership and state, live jobs or indivisible operations, blockers, next …

How to install
mdr add uchicago-dsi/ai-sci-skills/mission-control@sha256:7a6c8c3c7d8deb6fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261027.723fcb0, 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.
