Use before writing new code in an existing module — match the nearest sibling's pattern first; a repo-wide convention is the default only when the local module has no established pattern of its own. A uniform module beats a globally-conformant outlier. Triggers on "follow the conventions", "match the style", "how do we do X here", "the standard is", "add a new component/form/endpoint", and starting new code beside existing code.
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
# Consistency Is Local First **Type:** Open-source — client-agnostic methodology, no project-specific detail. **Created by akbarsha — https://github.com/iamakbarsha1** No logged failure behind this one — the rule comes from a near-miss: applying a repo-wide convention would have made new code the odd one out in a module that consistently did it another way. No incident record backs it, so every case below is marked illustrative. **Licence:** Released under CC BY 4.0 — share and adapt for any purpose with credit. Full text: `LICENSE` at the repository root. **Feedback & Support:** If a rule here proves wrong or needs sharpening, open an issue on the repository or contact the author at the profile link above. If the problem is the agent not following a rule below rather than the rule itself, that's an execution failure — acknowledge and correct it. ## The core rule Consistency is local first. Before writing new code, read the nearest sibling in the SAME module and match its pattern. A repo-wide convention (a style guide, a "we always use X" doc) is the correct default only when the local module has no established pattern of its own. A module that is internally …

How to install
mdr add iamakbarsha1/whetstone/consistency-is-local-first@sha256:a55d2abeee72940dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261019.1c6c6b4, 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.
