aide-the-quad SKILL.md skillA
aide-the-quad from anonymousnomad/aide-sovereign-workbench is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

THE QUAD — closed-loop architecture binding Cockpit (trust+telemetry), Harness (discipline+verification), Orchestrator (execution+authority), and Model (cognition) with three reinforcement loops. Governs any feature touching component sync, the improvement flywheel, unified discipline sourcing, warm-start/offline readiness, or calibration data. Use before adding cross-component features or changing prompt/scaffold sources.
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
# THE QUAD — One System, Four Loads, Three Loops Authoritative design: docs/THE-QUAD.md in-repo (read it first — this skill adds the LAW layer). ## Laws 1. **Single discipline source**: chat scaffold AND agent-loop system prompts compose from common/harness/credocore.md via ONE loader. Two hand-written prompt strings = drift = forbidden. 2. **Loop C capture is mandatory**: every approve/reject/ship emits an event to .aide/library/events.jsonl. Features that skip capture break the flywheel. 3. **[learned] blocks are earned**: only entries with >=5 paired outcomes and non-negative net effect inject; provenance count always shown; operator can purge the library. 4. **Warm-ready is a feature**: every engine path must trigger post-spawn warmup; AUTO_START is opt-in, RAM-guarded, session-flagged. 5. **Calibrate, don't guess**: thresholds (drift %, delegation defaults) become data-derived once N>=20 transcripts per model; policy defaults until then are labeled as such in code comments. ## Slice map S1 unified credo loader · S2 Loop C v0 (capture/distill/inject) · S3 fast-ready pack (warmup/auto-start/bench chips) · S4 calibration · S5 …

How to install
mdr add anonymousnomad/aide-sovereign-workbench/aide-the-quad@sha256:4a5e153fd633fa21The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260826.8da8b03, 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.
