Use when managing this agent, any other agent in its Rundesk install, or the install itself. It supplies verified operational workflows and safety rules for agent instructions, gateways, conversations, channels, schedules, providers, skills, backups, configuration, credentials, and the Rundesk lifecycle. Do not use for ordinary project work or for deciding, performing, or reviewing delegation.

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

# Manage Rundesk

Use Rundesk's commands to answer questions about this install. Do not guess at its state or paths.

## Use the right install

Run `"$RUNDESK_COMMAND"`, never bare `rundesk`. It is the absolute command for the install running
this turn. `$RUNDESK_HOME` already points to that install; do not change it or introduce another
location.

```sh
"$RUNDESK_COMMAND" status
"$RUNDESK_COMMAND" --help
```

Treat generated help as authoritative. If a verb is absent, Rundesk cannot perform it. A command
exits `0` when it answered or completed, `1` when understood but not completed, and `2` for invalid
command syntax. Never report success from wording alone; read the exit code and result.

## Common entry points

| Priority | Need | Command |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Prove which install this is and whether it is healthy | `"$RUNDESK_COMMAND" status` |
| 2 | See the agents and their providers | `"$RUNDESK_COMMAND" agents` |
| 3 | See whether gateways are running | `"$RUNDESK_COMMAND" gateways` |
| 4 | Explain gateway trouble | `"$RUNDESK_COMMAND" gateways logs <agent>` |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add rundesk-ai/rundesk-cli/managing-rundesk@sha256:b9efabf60be5196d

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260903.909bcc8, 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.
