Operate a Managoat instance — a self-hosted service that runs sandboxed coding agents (claude/codex/gemini) inside per-conversation sprites. Use this skill whenever the user asks you to spin up an agent on Managoat (formerly Fountain), delegate work to another agent, fan out a task across N agents, manage Managoat agents/environments/vaults declaratively, or drive the `managoat` CLI. Reads `MANAGOAT_API_KEY` (required) and `MANAGOAT_BASE_URL` (the instance's URL; the CLI falls back to…

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

# Managoat — driving the API, CLI, and manifest from outside a sprite

You are NOT running inside a Managoat sprite. You are an LLM (in a user's IDE,
CI job, or shell) operating Managoat on the user's behalf — spawning
conversations, listing/creating agents, applying YAML manifests, gathering
results.

If you are running inside a sprite (i.e. `$MANAGOAT_CONVERSATION_ID` is set),
use the in-sprite `managoat` skill instead — it covers spawning sub-agents
with provenance headers and conversation-scoped tokens. This skill is for
**external** callers.

## The mental model (4 primitives)

| Primitive | What it is | Where it's defined |
|---|---|---|
| **Environment** | sandbox shape — apt packages, env_vars, repos to clone with secrets, networking allowlist, `setup_script` | per-tenant; PUT/POSTed via `/api/environments` |
| **Vault** | free-floating bag of encrypted secret **overrides**, picked per-conversation; layered over the env's secrets, vault wins on key collision | per-tenant; PUT/POSTed via `/api/vaults` |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add binarybourbon/fountain/managoat@sha256:fecf79b46c5de929

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261015.b89e4eb, 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.
