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.

## Working with td

td keeps task context durable across sessions. In a new context, run `td usage --new-session -q` to see current work.

Use your judgment about how much tracking a task needs. For substantive work: `td start <id>`, record progress with `td log`, hand off with `td handoff <id>`, then `td review <id>`.

Closing needs a review. Say who did it (default trusted mode; delegated/strict allow only the first):

- independent session: `td approve <id> --reason "..."`
- a sub-agent: `td approve <id> --reviewed-by "<who>"`
- you: `td approve <id> --self-review --reason "..."`

Prefer a reviewer with its own `TD_CONTEXT_ID`; never name one who did not review.

Run `td usage` or `td <command> --help`.

default trusted mode an independent session approves with `td approve <id>
--reason "..."`; a reviewer can instead attest without closing via
`--record-only` and any session closes after. When you implemented the work

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add marcus/td/AGENTS.md@sha256:163d061662dd0d2c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260808.1991ed3, 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.
