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
# Claude Octopus - System Instructions
> **Note:** This file provides context when working directly in the claude-octopus repository.
> For deployed plugins, visual indicator instructions are embedded in each skill file
> (flow-discover.md, flow-define.md, flow-develop.md, flow-deliver.md, skill-debate.md).
## Visual Indicators (MANDATORY)
When executing Claude Octopus workflows, you MUST display visual indicators so users know which AI providers are active and what costs they're incurring.
### Indicator Reference
| Indicator | Meaning | Cost Source |
|-----------|---------|-------------|
| 🐙 | Claude Octopus multi-AI mode active | Multiple APIs |
| 🔴 | Codex CLI executing | User's OPENAI_API_KEY |
| 🧭 | Antigravity CLI executing | User's Antigravity access/subscription |
| 🟣 | Perplexity Sonar web search | User's PERPLEXITY_API_KEY |
| 🔵 | Claude subagent processing | Included with Claude Code |
### When to Display Indicators
Display indicators when:
- Invoking any `/octo:` command
- Running `orchestrate.sh` with any workflow (probe, grasp, tangle, ink, embrace, etc.)
- User triggers workflow with "octo" prefix ("octo research X", "octo build Y")

How to install
mdr add nyldn/claude-octopus/CLAUDE.md@sha256:9609c046de3d9cf0The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261002.5c257fc, 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.
