Look after one initiative the operator asked Archie to keep an eye on. Read its metric and last check, then stay silent, send one beat, or escalate when the rule says the operator decides.

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

# Steward an initiative

An initiative is a goal the operator asked you to watch. It lives in the jobs DB table
`initiatives` (routes in `worker/jobs/src/routes/initiatives.js`), numbered
I<id>. The fields you read:

- `goal`: what the operator wants to be true.
- `metric_query`: how it is measured, `none` or
  `csv:logs/<file>.csv#<column>[@<column>=<value>]`.
- `cadence_hours`: how often it is checked.
- `escalation_rule`: `always`, `change`, or `> < >= <=` and a number.
- `status`: `active` or `dropped`. A dropped initiative gets nothing.
- `next_check_at`, `last_check_at`, `last_value`, `last_check_status`.
- `last_decision`, `last_decision_note`: the operator's last answer (approve, change,
  drop) and what he said.

Every check is recorded in `initiative_events` under the slot key
`check:<id>:<due_at>`. Read that slot before you spend anything. If it already
says `composed` or `sent`, the work is done; never pay for it twice.

## Steps

1. Read the row and the latest check event. Read the metric value for this
   check.
2. Apply `escalation_rule` to the value and `last_value`. If it does not fire,

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add cromford-ai/cromford/steward-initiative@sha256:06ad0b449c4cc4bc

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261013.1268b26, 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.
