Understanding pack: modality-specific LLM inspection for audio, images, synchronized video, and scene descriptions, with a legacy dispatcher.
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
# Understanding Use this pack to inspect existing media. The five stable public actions are `understanding.audio_understand`, `understanding.visual_understand`, `understanding.video_understand`, `understanding.scene_describe`, and the legacy `understanding.understand` dispatcher. ## Choose an action | Action | Provider | Use it for | Primary outputs | |---|---|---|---| | `understanding.audio_understand` | OpenAI | Audio clips, video-audio windows, audition reels, and editorial listening questions | `analysis.json`, `manifest.json` | | `understanding.visual_understand` | OpenAI | One image, ordered images, or sampled video frames; free text or JSON-schema output | `result.json`, `manifest.json`, plus frame/contact-sheet sidecars | | `understanding.video_understand` | Gemini | Synchronized audio/video windows with an optional response schema | `result.json`, `manifest.json`, and `video-windows/` | | `understanding.scene_describe` | Gemini | Scene and triage inputs for the editorial scene-description step | `scene_descriptions.json`, `manifest.json` | …

How to install
mdr add banodoco/astrid-agent/understanding@sha256:9ae9fbdb9bb80a1aThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.71d43e0, 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.
