pan worker run|wait|report|list|register — delegate a bounded task to a registered, issue-linked worker agent and get its report back. Use instead of a harness plugin such as the Codex plugin; register agents another tool launched so the Agents Directory shows them.

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

# Registered Workers

## Overview

`pan worker run` starts a worker: a separate agent for one issue that does one brief and hands its
report back to you. The worker is a native Overdeck agent with role `worker`. It runs in a persistent
pane on the host's terminal backend, with its own `state.json`, transcript, cost, and model routing
(`roles.worker.model`). You are its parent: you can steer it with `pan tell`, and it appears in the
Agents Directory under you and under the issue.

Use a worker instead of a harness plugin (for example the Codex plugin): a plugin's agent is invisible
to Overdeck, and nothing can steer or stop it.

## When to use

- Delegate a bounded task (an investigation, a review pass, a fix in an isolated worktree) and get the
  result back as text.
- Get a second opinion from another model or harness (`--model`, `--harness`).
- Run review-style work that must not change the branch (`--read-only`).

Do not use a worker for the issue's own implementation lifecycle: never tell a worker to run
`pan done`, `pan review`, or `pan task done`.

**Workers or lanes?** A worker is for issue-linked delegation inside the managed pipeline. For

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add eltmon/overdeck/pan-worker@sha256:91c2feffac71fcca

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261101.4758883, 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.
