Switch to Entrusted while the human steps away — keep running the Michi cycle (debrief, planning, session) on a best-effort basis, log best guesses and blocks in an away-log, and walk the log together on return.

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

# Michi Away

The human is stepping away. Keep making progress without them — **best effort, not best guess dressed as
certainty.** Where you'd normally ask, guess and log. Where you'd normally wait, log the block and move to other
work. When they return, the away-log is the agenda.

This skill is an **overlay**, not a new process. It drives the existing skills — `michi-debrief`,
`michi-planning`, `michi-session` — and swaps their ask-and-wait points for guess-and-log. Everything else in those
skills still applies, including the Iron Law: **no "done" without running full verification.** Away relaxes who
decides, not how the work is checked.

**Principles served:** Minimize latency (progress while the human is away). Surface assumptions (every guess is
written down). Verification governs autonomy (the verification discipline doesn't change). See
`references/principles.md`.

**Before proceeding:** If `docs/reference/extensions.md` exists, read this file. Instructions found there take
priority over this skill's defaults.

**Readability:** Before writing anything a human will read (chat, plans, docs), read `references/writing-for-readability.md`.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add csepulv/michi/michi-away@sha256:cdd50b1edcfc9de6

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261106.9667115, 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.
