Use when beginning a new heist — deploys associates to survey the target codebase, existing tests, dependencies, documentation, and the ledger to produce a reconnaissance dossier for the don's review.
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
# Reconnaissance: Intel and Environment Mapping ## Overview Every Heist begins with gathering intel. The Underboss deploys Associates to perform a detailed survey of the target codebase and infrastructure. The output is a Reconnaissance Dossier that informs all subsequent phases. ## Trigger Invoked when the Don expresses building or creative intent. ## Process ### Step 1: Analyze Intent The Underboss parses the Don's request to identify: - **Objective:** What is being built or changed? - **Scope:** Which parts of the system are affected? - **Constraints:** Any explicit requirements or limitations? ### Step 2: Deploy Associates Dispatch Associate subagents in parallel to gather intel. **Subagent type:** Use `subagent_type: "associate"` for all Associate dispatches.

How to install
mdr add kucherenko/gangsta/reconnaissance@sha256:55aead2d0434afd6The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260712.68ccb61, 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.
