Three Minions in a Trench Coat: manual-only multi-model coding council that runs three top Minion routes in parallel, compares their answers, and synthesizes the best final answer.
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
# Three Minions in a Trench Coat Three minions in a trench coat is a multi-model coding council Imagine sneaking into a theater stacked in a trench coat, combined with sitting in front of a whiteboard brainstorming solutions & talking, or a smaller inner circle of friends late at night around the campfire. Three minions is designed to runs multiple subagents together Model Choice: - Prefer diversity across providers over three near-duplicates from one provider ## Trench Coat Wrapper If current harness has a subagent tool, first create 1 subagent trench coat wrapper with a medium tier model, in watcher and orchestrator mode, this subagent will then spawn the 3 subagents and manage them and report results back. The goal is to avoid bothering the root agent with smaller details and problems and wasting tokens on details that can be resolved. As things finish, be sure to pass it back to the parent agent with full handoffs of all crucial information, so the parent agent can review & incorporate all progress and decisions made. ## Relationship To Minion Use `grim:dev:minion` for subagent protocol, always read this to ensure proper usage of three minions.

How to install
mdr add mindgoblinstudios/grim-tome/grim:dev:three-minions-in-a-trench-coat@sha256:5d2506d375fdefe3The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260825.3923911, 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.
