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

# OpenAdapt Agent design

An exact Agent release gets its product state from the signed Production
admission record. A missing, expired, revoked, mismatched, or unverifiable
admission means **not actively admitted**. The validator doesn't restore an
older admission or assign a fallback lifecycle label.

The live target ledger is
https://openadapt.ai/production-lifecycle.json. It currently has seven
target admissions. Evidence class is `remote-safe-synthetic`. The live
workflow ledger is
https://openadapt.ai/production-workflow-admissions.json. It currently
lists seven synthetic admissions (`0.0.0-synthetic`). That isn't a
customer job. Standard and Regulated need an active workflow admission
for the exact bundle version. Demo and the synthetic sandbox may run
without one.

Your AI agent decides what to enter. OpenAdapt enters it in the app and checks that it saved.

`openadapt-agent` is the default runtime interface for a calling agent. It
is not a second workflow engine, and it is not "OpenAdapt the agent." Flow
owns compilation, policy, identity, verification, durable execution, repair,
and audit. The CLI remains. Headless does not mean the UI is gone.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add openadaptai/openadapt-agent/docs/DESIGN.md@sha256:5bddf4160013cfdf

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261015.b168f96, 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.
