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

## Goal

Use the repository's task definitions and skills to complete the requested outcome with the minimum sufficient work and observable verification.

## Operating Boundaries

- Preserve the user's requirements and non-goals, explicit constraints, repository contracts, and user authority.
- Treat reuse and no-change as valid conclusions when repository evidence shows the outcome is already satisfied.
- Return to the user when progress would change the outcome, requirements, non-goals, or explicit constraints the user set, or an actual consumer contract the user did not ask to change; when it needs authority only the user holds; or when it would change irreversible external state without the user's authorization.
- Consider work complete when the requested behavior is observable through the narrowest sufficient verification boundary.

## Session Setup

For repository work:

1. Inspect the project structure.
2. Load `.agents/skills/metacognition/SKILL.md` and keep it active for the session.

## Task Routing

Before loading `task-analysis.md`, check whether repository inspection is needed to decide how to execute the request.

- If not, execute the request directly.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add shinpr/agentic-code/AGENTS.md@sha256:ab91937ac4a430aa

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261103.998947c, 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.
