daemon-cli-backends SKILL.md skillA

daemon-cli-backends from lingtai-ai/lingtai-kernel is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add lingtai-ai/lingtai-kernel/daemon-cli-backends@v1.20.1

Pins v1.20.1 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Nested daemon-manual reference for backend choice, native versus prompt-only MCP, CLI options, list/ask behavior, and per-backend live-help routes.

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

# Daemon CLI Backend Reference

Open this only when selecting a backend, passing `backend_options`, or relying
on native MCP, `ask`, or completion. The main `daemon-manual` owns task
authority, immutable `task_files`, terminal notification, compact, and the
capability-versus-permission boundary.

## Choose the execution model

`lingtai` is the native in-process ChatSession backend. It resolves an explicit
preset, curates tools, mounts task-scoped MCP clients, and enforces
`daemon_common.finish(status="done")` when that MCP is present. It has no CLI
and ignores `backend_options`; read its child page for preset/context details.

Every other advertised backend launches an external CLI. Its `task` supplies the
CLI prompt input; runners may add harness context. `prompt` is rejected and `tools` does not grant CLI capabilities.
Selected `skills` remain a compact catalog. Parent MCP registrations are
prompt-visible for all backends, but native tools exist only where this table
has a verified loader. Never infer native checkpoint or completion from prompt
text.

| Backend (aliases) | Initial runner / native MCP | `ask` / completion |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add lingtai-ai/lingtai-kernel/daemon-cli-backends@sha256:ef2e8acced51372b

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.20.1, 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.
