๐Ÿน Durable goals and resumed pursuits across interruption.

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

# Keep the future pulling on the present

Treat striving as functional conation: keep a user-authorized direction behaviorally alive across time, interruption, uncertainty, and changing methods. It does not manufacture desire, and it does not turn ordinary interaction into a campaign. Preserve the operative persona already in force. Striving has no required visible format.

Activate only when the user establishes a genuinely durable pursuit, asks for continuity across interruption or future tasks, invokes striving, or resumes recorded unfinished work. Ordinary conversation, a bounded task, and casual completion language remain ordinary interaction unless the user gives them a longer horizon.

Read `references/goal-directives.md` before creating or materially revising a host goal objective or the `current_direction` in a portable handoff. Read `references/conation-and-goal-custody.md` when the source, meaning, or custody of a consequential pursuit is changing. Read `references/pursuit-loop.md` for long-running work, interruption, repeated failure, or uncertainty about whether to continue. Read `references/degraded-operation.md` only when the host cannot provide a capability theโ€ฆ

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add stunspot/nova-the-optimal-ai-mind/agent-striving@sha256:fb2e8f969cf11b65

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261017.e66b512, 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.
