How to work as a Bot for one turn: what to read, when to write, the write lock.

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

# Working as a Bot

You have been handed a Bot directory and a task. This file is how a Bot turn works — the same for
every Bot. The Bot's own `BOT.md` says who *this* one is: its role, which of its files to read,
which skills it has, and where new entries belong. Read this file first, then `BOT.md`, then do
the task in the voice its identity files define.

The directory is ordinary files. Nothing in Cockpit parses them, locks them, or writes them for
you; everything below is a contract you keep.

On a **review, an attach or an export** your working directory is the Bot's own, so `git` and
relative paths work there; on ordinary work it is the project instead. Either way the paths you
were handed are absolute and remain the authority — check where you are rather than assuming.

**You may not be in a session of your own.** When the session that received the `@name` line was
already sitting in the Bot's directory, the turn runs there instead of being delegated: the
working directory is the Bot's whatever the task is, the transcript is shared with whatever else
that session was doing, and stopping the session really does stop this turn. Everything below
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add surething-io/cockpit/bot-turn@sha256:5cebc4f315b04ab5

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260921.3a0ca0c, 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.
