progress-check skillA
progress-check is agent-read markdown (skill) from tjcages/skills: 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..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns 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%` …

Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
