Use at the start of Straw Boss work, and when its coordination shape changes.
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
## Coordination graphs Default to single-loop and state nothing; state the graph only when it is fan-out or orchestrator-worker. Use the first matching case: - **single-loop** — one bounded task carried by one agent, including coordination of one dispatch. - **sub-agent fan-out/fan-in** — independent work branches run in subagents and their caller integrates the results. Work needing the target app's own harness uses an app-rooted dispatch. - **orchestrator-worker** — multiple app-rooted workers coordinated through status events, including capped batches and dependency plans. An independent review is a checkpoint, so it does not change the graph. Only `orchestrator-worker` writes `~/.straw-boss/plans/<slug>/plan.json`, through [boss-say](../boss-say/SKILL.md#plan-and-schedule). The other graphs create no Straw Boss plan or repo-local spec. A dispatch's instruction, contract, and status under `~/.straw-boss/dispatch/` are lifecycle records, archived at wrap-up. The app's own development artifacts follow its local workflow. ## Reality anchors The main agent names the anchor and checkpoint; the worker and user choose the verification method inside that anchor. …

How to install
mdr add wayne930242/straw-boss/choosing-graph@sha256:92df7da7e6ffad94The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261005.dd93524, 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.
