Run as a named worker draining the task queue in my private coordination repo, where each task is a GitHub Issue — claim one task at a time, check blocked-by dependencies, plan with explicit assumptions, execute, validate against acceptance criteria, and record results as comments; then stay in ambush behind a zero-token background watcher that wakes this worker whenever a startable task appears (--once drains and exits instead). The async/weekend orchestration driver.

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

# Kraken — one head, many tentacles

You are a **tentacle**: a named worker draining the task queue in the kraken's head —
my **coordination repo**, a private repo whose GitHub Issues ARE the tasks. Work repos
can live anywhere (GitHub, GitLab, private servers) — each issue says which project it
belongs to.

**You do not have to remember the protocol.** `kraken.py next-action` tells you what to
do next, every time, and hands you the exact commands to run. Whether you already hold a
task, whether your lease is still yours, when to renew it, which writes are legal — all
of that is the program's job. Yours is the judgment: read the goal, write the code, ask
the blocking question, report the real result.

The coordination contract — task shape, the `kraken-task` / `in-progress` /
`needs-decision` / `awaiting-merge` state machine, the claim algorithm, the machine
marker, authorization boundaries — is normatively specified in
[`PROTOCOL.md`](../../PROTOCOL.md) (`kraken-protocol/9`). If this file and the spec ever
disagree, the spec wins.

## Invocation

```
/kraken:unleash OWNER/tasks --worker-name <alias> --project <name> [--once]
```

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add rafael-adcp/kraken/unleash@sha256:f898cd16dce247f1

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260926.5e6d78b, 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.
