Independently compare stable candidates under common criteria; return evidence and a preference without edits or adoption. Use when a workflow names it or the user selects it; ordinary requests use orch-dynamic-workflow. Top-level coordinators only.
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
Establish [library context](../../references/library-context.md). Accept at least two stable candidate states, purpose, common criteria/evaluation plan, evidence, constraints and output location. Resolve ordinary missing criteria from request/guidance; label assumptions and fix the comparison basis before dispatch. Use `orchflows:orch-review` once for the comparison. Supply identities, evaluation instructions, guidance and evidence. Preserve requested isolation, blinding and disclosure order. Return observations, requirement failures, tradeoffs, regressions, uncertainty and supported preference, tie or insufficient evidence. Preserve conflicting evidence and unavailable checks as gaps. Adoption, changed criteria and further confirmation remain with the caller.

How to install
mdr add danmcinerney/orchflows/compare-candidates@sha256:6b2227b37d1629a5The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260922.a6dd949, 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.
