Delegate bulk file reading to a cheaper worker model. Use when you need to read files >350 lines, answer questions across 3+ files, or summarize large diffs. The files never enter your context — only the answer does.
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
```bash
offload read --question "<question>" --paths <file1> [<file2> ...]
```
If `offload` is not on PATH, use the absolute path the blocking hook printed, or
`"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/offload"` when that variable is set.
Each call is independent. To ask a follow-up, ask again with the same `--paths` — the files
go to the worker, never into your context, so re-sending them costs you nothing.
Ask precise questions ("which functions call the DB and on what lines?"), not "summarize this".
Verify specific line numbers or exact values before using them in edits (re-read with offset/limit).
If you only need one known symbol, `grep -n` is cheaper than a worker call — use it instead.Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add pablonax/offload/bulk-reader@sha256:cb43c730e340b83aThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260908.9ac7547, 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.
