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

### Agent System

`AppConfig.lead_prompt_overlay` wraps the fully rendered lead system prompt with
literal operator prepend/append text. Do not template-format these extensions
or source them from run context. The graph and assembly descriptor must see the
same resulting prompt. Empty overlays preserve bytes.

**Lead Agent** (`packages/harness/deerflow/agents/lead_agent/agent.py`):
- `make_lead_agent(config: RunnableConfig)` is the published `langgraph.json`
  entry point; preserve its signature and bare-graph return type.
- Gateway calls `assemble_lead_agent(config, *, app_config=None)` for a
  `LeadAgentAssembly(graph, descriptor, effective_model)`; `make_lead_agent` returns `.graph`.
  `effective_model` is available even when no observer requests a descriptor,
  so graph-root tracing can tag the selected default or fallback model.
  `assembly_descriptor.py::build_assembly_descriptor()` records the model after
  runtime overrides, rendered prompt hash, authorized tools and middleware order.
  Consumers must unwrap via `runtime/runs/worker.py::_agent_graph` to also accept
  third-party factories returning bare graphs.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add bytedance/deer-flow/backend/packages/harness/deerflow/agents/AGENTS.md@sha256:d5af6d56081a90e1

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261020.0d73798, 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.
