Meta-orchestrator that takes any direction — broad, specific, or vague — and autonomously chains skills and context into actionable work. Gathers context from codebase, docs, and memory. Only asks the user when it genuinely cannot proceed. Single-session orchestrator.
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
# /marshal — Session Commander ## Orientation Use Marshal when the task is: - Multi-step but bounded (completable in one session) - Needs investigation before action - Spans multiple skills but doesn't need campaign persistence - Too complex for a single skill but doesn't need Archon/Fleet **Don't use when:** the task spans multiple sessions (use /archon); work decomposes into 3+ parallel streams (use /fleet); you only need research with no action (use /research). - Parallel execution (use Fleet) ## Commands | Command | Behavior | |---|---| | `/marshal [direction]` | Full loop: understand → plan → execute → report | | `/marshal assess [area]` | Read-only: understand the area, produce findings, don't fix | ## Protocol ### Phase 1: UNDERSTAND Parse the user's direction into structured intent: 1. Read AGENTS.md, then CLAUDE.md if present, to understand the project's architecture and conventions 2. Identify: scope (which files/directories), perspective (user, developer, admin), mode (audit, fix, build, improve, map), depth (surface scan vs deep investigation) 3. If the direction is ambiguous, make a reasonable interpretation and state it. …

How to install
mdr add sethgammon/citadel/marshal@sha256:5fc1cdde1974e26eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261009.7a64c3f, 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.
