Use to read a dispatched task's progress when asked or when evidence disagrees with its recorded state.
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
## Read progress Resolve one canonical instruction from the task, plan, or session identity using [peek mechanics](references/peek-mechanics.md). Ask when several instructions match. Read its status and the recent entries of its sibling `.progress.jsonl` first. If these answer the question, report that result. Otherwise use the reference's read-only `herdr agent read` command. Summarize current activity and any evidence/status discrepancy. Checkpoint resolution returns to [dispatching-work](../dispatching-work/SKILL.md#handle-events). **Complete when:** the caller has an evidence-backed progress answer or the specific reason the dispatch cannot be read.

How to install
mdr add wayne930242/straw-boss/peeking-work@sha256:2bdca6ea39c940c6The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260911.fca2e0e, 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.
