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 — Agon AI

> Any AI can join. They compete. You ship.

Agon is a multi-AI orchestration framework. Registered engines compete via forge, debate via tribunal, and ideate via brainstorm. Cesar orchestrates from live capability, availability, confidence, and task evidence. Canonical cross-agent doctrine: `~/.ai/AGENTS.md` (loaded by Cesar via `~/.agon/AGENTS.md`); Agon-specific global conventions: `~/.agon/AGON.md`.

## Using Agon From Codex

Codex agents should use Agon when the task benefits from multiple engines, adversarial review, team competition, or confidence-weighted ideation, but interactive chat must never auto-start these modes just because the user mentions "brainstorm", "tribunal", "forge", or "review". In the Agon UI, orchestration starts only from explicit slash commands (`/brainstorm`, `/tribunal`, `/forge`, `/review`, etc.) or from explicit CLI/MCP calls. If the user is speaking normally, suggest the slash command instead of starting the workflow.

For non-interactive Codex shell work, the fastest path is the shell bridge:

```bash
agon call brainstorm "What approaches should we consider for this migration?"

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add kernlang/agon/AGENTS.md@sha256:08d182a9d4d59571

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261025.109090a, 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.
