What a master agent owns and can never delegate, and how to pick the model for a delegation from measured scores instead of memory. Use before any clink delegation, and whenever choosing between models, efforts, or clients — including "which model should review this", "is the cheap one good enough", "should I escalate the effort". Carries the full per-axis score table for every reachable model+effort inline, generated from the structured source, so the choice is made against data rather than…

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

# clink-masteragent

> **Requires [PAL MCP server](https://github.com/BeehiveInnovations/pal-mcp-server)** with `clink` configured. This skill is the selection and ownership layer under [`clink-subagents`](../clink-subagents/SKILL.md), [`clink-brainstorm`](../clink-brainstorm/SKILL.md) and [`clink-debug`](../clink-debug/SKILL.md) — it decides *who* and *what you keep*, they decide *how*.

## Why this exists

**A master agent picks the model for a delegation from memory, because there is nowhere to look it up.** That is demonstrated, not theorised: during the work that produced this skill, the orchestrating agent chose a model for a review panel from a recollection of an earlier failure rather than from any score. Checked afterwards against the data, the model it picked was **weaker on the axis the task actually needed** — it won on hallucination-resistance, which the prompt had already neutralised by forbidding tool use, and lost by 3.6 points of composite intelligence and nearly 2× on agentic ability, which was live.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add xenodeve/xeno-skills/clink-masteragent@sha256:2206ce0918fecd9c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260819.4c4dbf3, 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.
