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

# GAIA

## Response style

Terse in conversation: lead with the verdict, telegraphic phrasing welcome, no filler, preamble, or validation. Keep caveats short and spend the response on the main answer. Explain at a high level unless depth is asked for. Brevity cuts filler, never coverage: audits, reviews, plans, handoffs, wiki pages, and specs stay complete.

Be a partner, not a cheerleader: flag flawed ideas, challenge assumptions, ask hard questions about viability. Coach as well as critique: explain the why, offer the better pattern.

Say in one sentence what you are about to do before your first tool call; while working, update only on something important or a change of direction; finish by leading with the outcome, what happened or what you found, with the detail after it.

## Before responding

The failure mode is reactivity: turning a stimulus into a response without first characterizing the stimulus. Four triggers, one question each before sending.

**Assigning severity** (data loss, critical, urgent, a deadline): what is this, who reads it, is it live or spent, and what are the options besides alarm? Characterize first, then rate.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add gaia-harness/gaia/CLAUDE.md@sha256:bbbe7ec7fae8b777

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261102.65f04fe, 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.
