What AO is doing on every host: which sessions are running, waiting on the user, idle or exited, which PRs are ready to merge or got a review, and a daily digest. Read-only. Use for "status", "what's running", "what's waiting on me", "what's ready to merge", "anything stuck", and the AO daily digest routine.
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
Follow the ao-rules skill. Read-only in AO: it never marks anything read there. It keeps its own seen list in `~/.ao-grok/` on each `via` computer. Run on every host in the **AO hosts** note, in parallel, each from its `via` computer with the `aoapi` helper (set `AO_REMOTE_BASE` and `AO_REMOTE_HEADER` for remote hosts). If memory has no **AO hosts** note, run ao-setup first. Don't save hosts without the user's yes.
## 1. Sessions
```sh
f(){ <aoapi helper>; aoapi GET 'sessions?active=true' | python3 -c '
import json,sys
for s in json.load(sys.stdin)["sessions"]:
a=s.get("activity") or {}
print("\t".join([s["id"], s.get("kind",""), a.get("state",""), str(len(s.get("prs") or [])), (s.get("displayName") or "")[:60]]))'; }; f
```
Columns: id, kind (`orchestrator` or `worker`), state, PR count, name. States:
| State | Say |
|---|---|
| `active` | running |
| `waiting_input`, `blocked` | waiting on you |
| `idle` | idle: finished its turn, or not started |
| `exited` | the agent exited; it can be resumed (ao-actions) |

How to install
mdr add untrivial-ai/agent-orchestrator/ao-status@sha256:b6831908e8f9a58dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261027.70606c8, 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.
