Use WHEN assembling the MATERIAL for a stateless dispatch — file contents, large corpora, or structured data — so the source never enters the orchestrator context. Do NOT use for writing the instructions about that material, verifying output, guarding runtime, or isolating work.
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
# compose-the-payload — build self-contained dispatch inputs
A stateless dispatch inherits nothing. The payload must contain all necessary context, sourced from disk, not from the orchestrator’s memory.
## Build from files on disk — and never read them yourself
The point is not merely that the payload comes from disk. It is that **you never load the source into your own
context**: a script reads the files, serializes them, and hands them to the delegate. Reading a 60 KB corpus to
"prepare" it spends exactly what offloading was supposed to save.
1. **Concatenate on disk:** assemble the corpus with shell redirection, not by reading files into your context.
2. **Serialize with a JSON-aware tool.** Never build JSON by interpolating file contents into `echo` — any
quote, backslash, newline, tab, or control character in the source produces invalid JSON, so the failure is
silent and total on almost any real file.
```bash
# assemble the corpus without ever reading it
{ cat header.md; cat body/*.md; } > /tmp/corpus.txt
# serialize it safely — python does the escaping
python3 - <<'PY'
import json
corpus = open('/tmp/corpus.txt', errors='ignore').read()
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add haiggoh/free-agents/compose-the-payload@sha256:7767fb462df602e7The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261031.530a28e, 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.
