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

Rules for AI coding agents (Claude Code, Copilot CLI, OpenCode subagents,
etc.) and the humans working with them on this repo. Written as direct
instructions because agents follow them better that way.

For the full contributor + release docs, see [`CONTRIBUTE.md`](./CONTRIBUTE.md).
This file is the short list.

## What this repo is
`97` is a multi-harness plugin that ships skills distilled from established
programming practice, in the spirit of *97 Things Every Programmer Should
Know* (O'Reilly, ed. Kevlin Henney). The same `skills/` directory is loaded
by three coding-agent harnesses: **Claude Code**, **GitHub Copilot CLI**,
and **OpenCode**.

Layout: skills under `skills/`, OpenCode loader under `.opencode/plugins/`,
Claude Code / Copilot CLI manifests under `.claude-plugin/`, session-start
hooks under `hooks/`, tooling under `scripts/`.

## Rules

1. **Test before you say done.** Run `just check` (lint + format-check + smoke). All three must pass. (`npm test` is the same thing — CI uses it; `just` is the local convenience.)
2. **Update the changelog.** Any user-facing change goes in the `[Unreleased]`
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add oribarilan/97/AGENTS.md@sha256:89a62e1def1ce1ba

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261029.2f0ad0d, 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.
