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

# Working on the lacquer

This file governs work on **this repository**. The rule files it *ships* —
`core/CLAUDE.core.md` and `profiles/*/CLAUDE.*.md` — govern the projects that
receive them, and are mirrored to the site by `internal/docsmirror`. This one is
not shipped and has no mirror.

## The doctor principle applies inward

README's *"Proving the checks work"* states it plainly, about the checks this
tool ships:

> CI already tells you whether a check passes; it cannot tell you whether it
> *could* fail.

That is why `lacquer doctor` writes a known-bad fixture and asserts the check
**rejects** it. The principle is correct and it was not being applied to the code
that produces those checks. Three defects from 2026-09-11, each of which passed a
green test suite:

- A detector keyed on a managed step's **name** rather than on whether the
  declared secrets file was written. A project with a correct hand-rolled step
  under a different name was reported as exposing App Store credentials. It
  shipped, and was described to a human as a live risk before anyone re-read it.
- The warnings-as-errors gate resolved an xcconfig by walking the component
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add patrickserrano/lacquer/CLAUDE.md@sha256:629a2cd5b90740fa

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261012.ee749bd, 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.
