mdevolved-albatross

A connection guide for linking an Albatross workspace to MDevolved through a local bridge. Albatross remains the local agent environment, while MDevolved provides shared project authority and approved access.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure the MDevolved connection, authenticate it, resume or open a project, preserve existing settings, and coordinate approved work from an Albatross workspace.
Why use it?
It keeps local agents, tools, workspaces, retries, and reset behavior under Albatross while avoiding duplicate projects and unapproved access. It also supports separately identifying different contributors.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

mdevolved-albatross scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

MDevolved + Albatross

Use this pack only for Albatross-side setup. MDevolved remains the universal remote MCP server and the authority boundary; Albatross still owns its local agents, tools, workspaces, retries, and /reset behavior.

Setup

  1. Preserve every existing Albatross setting and MCP server.
  2. Use the exact HTTPS /mcp URL (HTTP only for localhost development).
  3. Add the generated mdevolved entry to agent.config.json using the pinned mcp-remote bridge, then run /mcp trust mdevolved.
  4. Merge the marked profile into .albatross/prompt.md; preserve everything outside the marked block.
  5. Use a separate participant ID and OAuth authorization only for an independently attributable writer or reviewer. A label never grants access.

Connect or resume

Read .mdevolvedignore first. If it is absent, read .owdignore as a legacy fallback. If both exist and disagree, stop and ask the owner to resolve the conflict; never guess or create a second Project.

With a receipt, call mcp__mdevolved__mdevolved_resume first with its exact Project UUID and policy. Without one, call mcp__mdevolved__connection_info, then mcp__mdevolved__open_project. If approval is pending, repeat only the same mcp__mdevolved__wait_for_project_connection request with its exact key. Until resume returns localVaultAccess, the writer role is unconfirmed.

After /reset, resume the same receipt before local writes. Submit only cited, useful results to MDevolved; Albatross transcripts, checkpoints, and private runtime state remain local.

Before any shell, skill, or filesystem write, obey the returned localVaultAccess.role. Project submissions never grant local write authority.

Legacy compatibility

Existing pre-MD9 owd server/tool configuration and .owdignore receipts remain readable. Preserve them and do not silently re-authorize or delete them; new setup should use the canonical mdevolved names and .mdevolvedignore.

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

mdevolved-albatross is a skill published in the GitHub repository msinclair25/mdevolved (2 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 36 tokens to every session and 507 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-01.
