Use WHEN writing the instruction/prompt for a stateless dispatch. Triggered by the need to disambiguate task boundaries, ordering, or output format. Do NOT use for verifying output, guarding runtime, or composing payloads.

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

# brief-the-delegate — spell out every ambiguity

A stateless dispatch inherits no context. If you do not specify it, the delegate will guess — and guess wrong.

## Disambiguate the task
1. **Ordering:** Specify if order matters (e.g., "process files in alphabetical order").
2. **Boundaries:** Define what is in scope and what is out.
3. **Locale/Format:** Specify date formats, number formats, or language.
4. **First-vs-last-write-wins:** If multiple sources conflict, specify which takes precedence.
5. **Empty / absent / malformed input:** State what the output should be when input is missing,
   empty, or not the expected shape — a silent gap here becomes a plausible guess asserted as fact.
6. **Ground-truth every `expected` value yourself:** never freeze a fixture on the delegate's own
   arithmetic or word-knowledge answers — compute the right answer independently before shipping
   the fixture (measured wrong answers: "the 2nd prime above 1000 is 1039" — it is 1013).

## Use placeholders for bulk content
If the delegate needs to generate large amounts of text (e.g., boilerplate, lists):

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add haiggoh/free-agents/brief-the-delegate@sha256:e36e8879b16fc6c7

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261031.530a28e, 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.
