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
# Agent Development Guide This file is for AI coding agents contributing to Metis. Treat it as repository-level operating guidance. User and system instructions always take precedence. ## Objective Help developers change Metis quickly without sacrificing scope control, compatibility, or verification. Prefer evidence from the repository over assumptions. ## Start Every Task 1. Restate the requested outcome and concrete acceptance criteria. 2. Read `git status --short` and strictly preserve unrelated user changes and dirty worktree files. 3. Search for relevant code, tests, docs, and existing abstractions before editing. 4. Read the nearest applicable `AGENTS.md` if a nested one exists. 5. Identify affected modes and surfaces: - **CLI / TUI**: Interactive terminal UI (`src/modes/interactive/`, `vendor/metis-tui/`) - **Headless / Print**: Non-interactive execution (`src/modes/print-mode.ts`) - **RPC / JSON**: Programmatic streaming and JSON protocols (`src/modes/rpc/`, `src/rpc-entry.ts`) - **Server**: HTTP / SSE server engine (`src/modes/server/`) - **Desktop**: Electron host (`desktop/main.cjs`) + React frontend (`desktop/src/`) …

How to install
mdr add wholiver/metis/AGENTS.md@sha256:56212056011559e6The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.72dd0a5, 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.
