Run work as an explicit event-driven state machine executed by subagents. The orchestrator is the runtime from the canonical loop — `state, effects = init(machine); execute(effects); while state is active: event = nextEvent(); state, effects = transition(machine, state, event); execute(effects); return state.output`. All routing judgment is authored ONCE, at plan time, into a machine file (states, event alphabet, transition table, budgets, final states); at runtime the orchestrator does pure…
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
# Workmachine — An Explicit State Machine, Executed by Subagents ``` state, effects = init(machine) execute(effects) while state is active: event = nextEvent() state, effects = transition(machine, state, event) execute(effects) return state.output ``` That is the whole orchestrator. Everything else in this skill exists to make each of those five names concrete: | Runtime name | What it is in a workmachine run | |---|---| | `machine` | `machine.md` — states, event alphabet, transition table, budgets, final states. Authored once in Phase 1. Never edited at runtime except through the ESCALATE protocol. | | `state` | one line in `state.md` — the current state name plus its visit count; and the `output` slot once a final state is reached. | | `init` | run the scaffold, author the machine, enter the initial state, and evaluate that state's **entry effects**. | | `effects` | a list of side-effects a state emits on entry: subagent dispatches (by role-prompt path), `state.md`/`events.md` writes, git spot-checks. Effects **never decide anything**. | | `execute` | dispatch the effect's subagents **in parallel**, read their TINY statuses, spot-check commits. | …

How to install
mdr add av/skills/workmachine@sha256:cb481bd3d4c3b987The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260828.37dbfbe, 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.
