mission-control skillA
mission-control is agent-read markdown (skill) from uchicago-dsi/ai-sci-skills: 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..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

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 Delete resolved tasks, stale job states, superseded corrections, and metrics that no longer affect a decision.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 …
