Harness for ambitious AI task statements. Use when the user writes /be-ambitious, "make this task deeper", "improve the task statement", "raise the bar", "strengthen the prompt" (or in Russian «сделай задачу глубже», «улучши постановку», «поставь амбициознее», «усили промпт») — or before launching any substantial task worth raising the bar on. Routes the task by scenario (design, data, code, writing, decision, generic), runs the analysis, builds a prompt with a gate check, hands it to a…
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
# Be-Ambitious Harness Three roles and one human. **Planner** turns the task into a prompt with two bars and a gate check. **Worker** executes the prompt, starting with the check. **Verifier** grades the result seeing only the goal, requirements, criteria and facts. **Human** chooses the scheme and cost limit — this is not delegated. Each role reads only its own files. This is deliberate: instruction following breaks down past 5–6 simultaneous constraints, so structure comes from files and templates, not from rules held in mind. ## Flow **0. Intake.** Collect four fields: `task`, `context`, `mode` (keep scope / ambitious extension / recommend), `stop_after_analysis` (yes/no). Defaults if empty: recommend, no. **1. Routing.** Open `scenarios/_index.md`, pick a scenario by signals. Torn between two — take the one where the result lives. None fits — `generic.md`. …

How to install
mdr add alexpiar/be-ambitious-harness/be-ambitious-harness@sha256:5d7ad32bec2de383The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261025.8a932f0, 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.
