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

# Polywave-Teams: Agent Teams Execution Layer

Alternate execution layer for the Polywave protocol using Claude Code Agent Teams
as the agent runtime. Same invariants (I1–I6), same IMPL doc artifact, same
Scout. Different plumbing for wave execution.

**Status:** Prompt set complete (v0.1.6). Synced to protocol v0.14.5. Hooks,
README, and spawn step fully specified. Blocked on Agent Teams stabilizing
(currently experimental with known limitations). Ready for integration testing
when Agent Teams is stable.

## Motivation

Polywave today uses the raw Agent tool with `run_in_background` and manual git
worktrees. This works but has friction:

- No inter-agent communication during execution
- Opaque agent progress until completion
- Manual worktree lifecycle (create, verify, cleanup)
- One-way communication: prompt in, completion report out

Agent Teams provides the primitives that would eliminate this friction:
teammate spawning, inter-agent messaging, shared task list with dependencies,
progress visibility, and native worktree management.

## Design Principle

**Same protocol, different execution.** The invariants don't change:

| Invariant | Polywave (current) | Polywave-Teams |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add blackwell-systems/polywave/docs/proposals/polywave-teams/DESIGN.md@sha256:b4ec9dfd30d35b53

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260511.8f9ed09, 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.
