Reads the current work context and plans the optimal agent dispatch. Clarifies direction with 1-2 questions when unclear; infers and proceeds immediately when execution path is unclear. Runs an automatic recording gate after each Wave completes. Triggered by "compose agents", "which agent should I use?", "run in parallel", or "agent-composer".

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

# agent-composer — Agent Composition Layer

A coordinator skill that reads the work context and decides "which agents to dispatch, when, and in what order."
Selects the optimal combination from the FH skill pool and either outputs a fan-out plan or executes it directly.

## Triggers

- `/agent-composer`
- "Which agent should I use?", "Pick one automatically", "Compose the agents"
- "Set up the agents", "Decide which agents to use"
- "Split the work and run in parallel", "Process with multiple agents"
- "Build the dispatch plan", "Run in parallel splits"
- When the task is complex or spans multiple projects

## Core Principles

- **Compose only**: Does not perform work directly. Outputs the dispatch plan and executes after user approval.
- **Parallel first**: When 2+ tasks are independent, propose parallel fan-out instead of sequential.
- **Minimal composition**: Only the agents needed. Over-provisioning agents creates inefficiency.
- **Coordinator ≠ executor**: Only collects results (fan-in) and presents an integrated report.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add chrono-meta/forge-harness/agent-composer@sha256:2f145138b0e9d44e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260929.983c25e, 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.
