The work-agent protocol for an issue whose xBRIEF plan has parallel waves. The foreman is the issue's work agent: it dispatches same-family workers as in-harness subagents in worktrees and cross-family workers as terminal-backend panes via `pan spawn`, has every worker commit on its own item branch and hand back, integrates each item onto the feature branch and runs `pan task done` for it, and runs `pan done` once at the end.
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
# pan foreman Use this when the issue's xBRIEF plan (`pan task show <id>`) has more than one dispatchable item in a wave. A plan with a single linear chain of items does not need this — just work the checklist item by item as the plain work agent. This skill is the foreman's own protocol, not a separate role: the foreman IS the work agent for this issue, holding the pane whose backend metadata names `role: work`. ## Same-family vs. cross-family - **Same-family** (same harness as you, e.g. another Claude Code instance) — dispatch as an in-harness subagent (the `Agent` tool) in its own git worktree under the issue's workspace. Cheap, fast, shares your context window's tooling. - **Cross-family** (a different harness, or you need it visible as its own terminal pane for the operator to watch or intervene) — dispatch as a terminal-backend pane: ```bash pan spawn --issue <id> --item <item-id> --model <model> [--harness <h>] [--effort <level>] ``` This creates a worker pane in its own item worktree `<workspace>/.swarm/<item-id>/` on branch `<feature-branch>-<item-id>`. `--shared` runs the pane in the issue workspace instead, on the feature …

How to install
mdr add eltmon/overdeck/pan-foreman@sha256:1dc8e45a2177a19fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261004.832b65e, 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.
