Give sparse, evidence-based progress updates for long-running agent tasks and projects. Use when work will take more than 15 minutes, spans multiple milestones, involves delegated agents, or when the user asks for progress bars, status cadence, fewer updates, or a global cross-agent progress rule. Not for short answers or tasks with no meaningful intermediate state.
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
# Progress Check Full method: [METHODOLOGY.md](./METHODOLOGY.md). Chat shape: [RESPONSE.md](./RESPONSE.md). Examples: [EXAMPLES.md](./EXAMPLES.md). ## Choose the mode - **Report progress:** default for qualifying long-running work. - **Install globally:** only when the user asks to persist this behavior across agents or projects. ## Report progress 1. Define a small set of observable milestones before estimating a percentage. Weight by work and risk, not elapsed time. 2. Send one baseline update after scope is understood. 3. Send a routine update only when at least 30 minutes have passed **and** one of these is true: a milestone completed, verified progress rose by at least 10 percentage points, or the next action materially changed. 4. Report a new blocker immediately when the user can act on it. Report completion immediately. 5. Never repeat an unchanged bar or send a routine “still working” message. Keep each update to at most three short items: completed evidence, current work, and next step or blocker. End with exactly one overall bar styled as inline code on its own line: `Performance rollout [██████████████████░░] 90%` …

How to install
mdr add tjcages/skills/progress-check@sha256:f7a7ed411260d593The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.1, 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.
