Update this bot's ao-* skills to the latest published version: check what changed, show it, and after the user's yes download each changed skill, verify its sha256 against the published manifest, and rewrite it. Use for "update Orchestrator Bot", "update the AO bot", "update my AO skills", "what's new in Orchestrator Bot".

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. This runs on the bot's own cloud computer (the box), not on the user's computers. It changes only this bot's ao-* skills, and only after the user's yes.

The skills are published in the public AO repository (`OrchestratorInc/agent-orchestrator`, folder `integrations/grok-bot/`) with a `manifest.json` that lists each skill's sha256. Every check reads the newest commit on `main`, then downloads the manifest and the skills from that exact commit, so the files always match each other.

## 1. Save the fetcher
Save it on the box if `/workspace/ao-bot/fetch.py` is missing or differs:
```sh
f(){ mkdir -p /workspace/ao-bot && cat > /workspace/ao-bot/fetch.py <<'PY'
import hashlib, json, os, re, subprocess, sys
REPO, DIR = "OrchestratorInc/agent-orchestrator", "integrations/grok-bot"
SRC = os.environ.get("AO_BOT_SOURCE")  # a local folder instead of GitHub, for testing
STATE = os.environ.get("AO_BOT_STATE", "/workspace/ao-bot")
def get(url):  # curl, so the system's certificates are used
    r = subprocess.run(["curl", "-fsSL", "--max-time", "30", "-H", "User-Agent: ao-bot", url], capture_output=True)
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add untrivial-ai/agent-orchestrator/ao-update@sha256:44420b8ca465a2e6

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261027.37951c2, 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.
