Write or fix a Cheap Agent plan file before calling the cheapag delegate tool. Use when planning a change of more than ~20 lines or several files for the cheap worker, splitting work into steps, or after delegate rejects a plan.
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
# Writing a Cheap Agent plan The cheap worker sees the whole plan, then implements the steps you name in `delegate`. It works in an isolated copy of the repo and does only what a step says, so each step must stand on its own: exact files, what to build, and a check that proves it works. Save plans under `.plan/` in the repository, e.g. `.plan/rate-limit.md` (the developer may read, edit or commit them). Pass the path relative to the repository root. ## Grammar ``` # <plan title> ← required, exactly one H1 <shared context, optional, ≤ ~15 lines> ## <id> <short title> ← id = integer or integer+letter (3, 3a; s3, step-3 also work) files: <path>, <dir/>, ... ← required; scope + overlap key do: <what to build; continuation lines indented 2+ spaces> done-when: <condition>; <condition> ← required; `backticked` = executed dont: <constraint>; <constraint> needs: <step id>, ... difficulty: easy | medium | hard ← picks the worker model; wins over delegate's model: <model> deps: <package@range> ← the step needs a new package ``` …

How to install
mdr add muaaz9329/cheap-ag/plan-writing@sha256:71b67d6b14ef647bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261102.b2d456f, 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.
