llm-pipeline from ericrisco/rsc-harness is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Use when wiring several LLM calls into a production flow: typed contracts between steps, a router/gateway so 429s, timeouts and outages fail over instead of taking you down, and cost control via caching, model tiers and abort caps. NOT single-prompt wording (that is `prompt-engineering`), NOT a model-driven tool loop (that is `building-agents`).
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
# llm-pipeline Wire multiple LLM calls into a reliable, controllable production pipeline. You chain steps where one call's validated output feeds the next, put a router in front of providers so an outage fails over instead of taking you down, and engineer the cross-cutting concerns: timeouts, bounded retries, fallbacks, caching, and cost caps. Treat the LLM as an unreliable network dependency, not a local function call. Every rule below follows from that: providers have outages, rate limits, and latency tails, so no single provider is a single point of failure and no call is allowed to run unbounded. ## Do you even need a pipeline? This skill is the orchestration *around* calls. If you only have one call, you are in the wrong place. | Situation | Go to | | --- | --- | | Make one prompt better, few-shot, system-prompt design | [../prompt-engineering/SKILL.md](../prompt-engineering/SKILL.md) | | One call must return a typed object validated against a schema | [../structured-extraction/SKILL.md](../structured-extraction/SKILL.md) | | The model decides its own next step / tool to call | [../building-agents/SKILL.md](../building-agents/SKILL.md) | …

How to install
mdr add ericrisco/rsc-harness/llm-pipeline@sha256:00eb3f8982d19fd8The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261020.550e1aa, 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.
