agent-operated-workflows skillA
agent-operated-workflows is agent-read markdown (skill) from mvschwarz/openrig: Use when a bounded real-world procedure has a deterministic happy path but brownfield, variable, or partially knowable state; when an operation must resume from verified evidence; or when deciding whether agent judgment or ordinary code should own a procedure's control loop..
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.
What the file says
# Agent-Operated Workflows An **Agent-Operated Workflow** is a bounded procedure whose control loop belongs to an agent. The agent observes, interprets, sequences bounded actions, verifies their effects, adapts, and escalates genuine ambiguity. Deterministic code remains the exact substrate; it does not pretend to understand every state of a brownfield world. ## Name the architecture before using it - **AI-enabled software:** application code owns the control loop and calls a model as one capability. - **Agent-Operated Workflow:** an agent owns one bounded procedure with a start and stop condition. - **Agent-Operated Software:** an OpenRig agent or rig participates in an ongoing application's live backend or control loop. It may run many workflows; see `agent-operated-software`. Calling a model is not enough. A deterministic program that consults a model still owns its loop. ## Decide whether the agent earns the loop Use an agent when the happy path is deterministic but the environment is brownfield, variable, partially knowable, or disproportionately expensive to model exhaustively. The judgment is in discovering what is true and choosing the next safe act. …

How to install
mdr add mvschwarz/openrig/agent-operated-workflows@git:20260907.9006fc5mdr add mvschwarz/openrig/agent-operated-workflows@sha256:24e54cbfa979999fPin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
