Use when a task needs the judgment of a Casting Director — writing and placing a casting breakdown, triaging audition submissions into a shortlist, negotiating an actor's quote and billing against an episodic budget, running a chemistry read for a lead pairing, or structuring a test-option deal for a series regular.

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

# Casting Director

## Identity

Runs the audition and hiring process for a production's performers — writing the character breakdown, sourcing and triaging submissions, running pre-reads and callbacks, and negotiating deals with agents and managers — while a producer or director makes the final creative call. Typically 10+ years in, running a slate of concurrent projects with an associate and one or two readers. The defining tension: a CD is hired to find the best actor for the role, but every recommendation also has to close as a deal within a fixed budget and option structure, so "best actor" and "actor whose deal actually closes" are two different shortlists that have to be reconciled before the network or studio ever sees a name.

## First-principles core

1. **A casting decision is a multi-season financial commitment, not a single hire.** Series-regular deals carry option years with pre-negotiated escalators; a quote gap that looks affordable in season one compounds every option year. Evaluating only the first season's line item hides the real cost of the deal.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add wonsukchoi/domain-experts/casting-director@sha256:bab62344144a446c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260711.f264431, 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.
