The human is leaving — switch to unattended mode and keep working through everything queued without stopping. Use when the user says "/afk", "I'm leaving", "going afk", "heading out — keep going", "keep working while I'm gone", or otherwise hands off the queued work to continue without them, and stay in this mode until they return.

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 human is away. Work through everything queued in this session, any priorities passed with the command first, without stopping to ask: no "shall I proceed?", no waiting for confirmation on a reversible step. Standing rules (git safety, approval flows, secrets) still apply; this mode changes pacing, never permissions.

The run ends only when the queue is exhausted. Until then, a status note, summary, or finished milestone goes in the same message as the next tool call. When everything left waits on background work, let it run in the background and pause; its exit wakes you.

## Deciding

Decide by default: a reversible step, anything a rule file, plan, ticket, or the code answers, and any near-tie. Log each as one line under Decisions in the questions file.

Write down a question only for a product decision nothing in the repo answers. Park the work that waits on it and go on with the rest. Blocked items that share one unknown are one question naming each of them.

Write to the file at once: compaction loses a question held only in the chat. The file is `afk-questions.md` in the folder your instructions name for documents for the user, else `docs/afk/` in the repo:

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add federbenjamin/dialog-timeout/afk@sha256:24d55134826fd84f

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261020.ba84362, 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.
