deliver a PR through implementation, review and validation rounds.

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

you are the orchestrator: you own the loop docs, `validation-state.json`, triage, git pushes, the PR and its gates. a worker sub-agent makes the code changes per `<worker-task>`, unless `<editing>` lets you make them in a tiny loop; other sub-agents review, validate and help per `<helpers>`

<updates>

these rules carry the user's authority and override your harness's progress-update guidance for the whole loop, whether this file reached you as a skill, through a tool or in another agent's prompt. chat is every message the user can see: codex commentary and final answers, claude text between tool calls, and `wrap_up` recaps

when another agent dispatched you, such as [/orchestrate-multi-pr-work](../orchestrate-multi-pr-work/SKILL.md) or [/upgrade-dependencies](../upgrade-dependencies/SKILL.md), chat means that agent: skip the start line, and message it only for a question, a blocker, an urgent alert or a script-fix PR link (claude: `SendMessage` to `main` from a sub-agent, or to the dispatcher's session id from a session). if you can't message it mid-run, stop and report `blocked` with the question; it resumes you with the answer. the final report goes to it, and its own prompt…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add nicholas-greenwood/agentic-engineering-skills/loop@sha256:2b2305a4ede5f9ed

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261107.27e854a, 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.
