Talk to a project's AO orchestrator: pass the user's request to it, wait for its reply and relay it. The default route for starting or changing work, "catch me up", "why", "what next" and plans. Use for "in <project>: <ask>", "tell the orchestrator ...", "catch me up on <project>", "start work on ...".
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
Follow the ao-rules skill ("Who does what: orchestrator first"). Sending a message is a write: do it only for what the user asked in this turn.
## 1. Pick the host and project
Match the user's words against project ids on every host (`aoapi GET projects`). One match: use it. The same project id on two hosts (two separate projects that share a folder name): ask which host, unless the user named one or memory has a default for that project. No match: list the projects and ask.
## 2. Find the orchestrator
```sh
f(){ <aoapi helper>; aoapi GET "sessions?orchestratorOnly=true&active=true&project=<project>" | python3 -c '
import json,sys
for s in json.load(sys.stdin)["sessions"]: print(s["id"], (s.get("activity") or {}).get("state",""), s.get("provisionState",""))'; }; f
```
- One line: that is the orchestrator. Its state tells you if it is busy (`active`).
- `exited`: resume it first with `aoapi POST "sessions/<id>/resume-agent" '{}'`, then go on.
- Provision state `failed`: AO could not create its workspace, and messages to it fail. Read the reason with `aoapi GET "sessions/<id>"` (field `provisionError`), tell the user in plain words, and ask them to fix it in AO. Stop here.

How to install
mdr add untrivial-ai/agent-orchestrator/ao-orchestrator@sha256:6114fa278fde766dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261027.70606c8, 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.
