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

# AGENTS.md — Working on ClaudeWatch

This is the build philosophy and key constraints document for ClaudeWatch.
The contract lives in [`SPEC.md`](SPEC.md); this document captures the *how to
think about it*. Every Claude Code session should read this before making
non-trivial changes.

## What ClaudeWatch is

A Claude Code plugin that wraps every shell invocation — `Bash` and `Monitor`,
which runs its command in the same shell — in a `PreToolUse` hook and applies
regex-based safety rules. The core safety advantage over Claude
Code's built-in deny rules is that patterns match **anywhere** in the command
string (`re.search()`), so compound commands (`git add . && git push --force`),
heredocs, and reordered flags are not bypassable by syntactic tricks.

## Core contracts (don't break these)

1. **Determinism.** Given the same command, the same `cwd` and project root, the
   same `watches/` tree, and the same on-disk state of the paths those name, the
   engine must always produce the same *decision*.
   No clocks, no randomness, no network on the decision path. `cwd` and
   `CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR` enter the decision only as the deterministic per-invocation

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add chris-peterson/claudewatch/AGENTS.md@sha256:c3cde939f472cdaa

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261003.77db300, 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.
