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

# Repository Guidelines

## Project Structure & Module Organization

`src/` contains the TypeScript implementation for the CLI, storage, service protocol, and install flows. The main entry points are `src/cli.ts` and `src/index.ts`; support modules such as `src/service.ts`, `src/db.ts`, and `src/install.ts` keep coordination, persistence, and harness integration separated. `tests/` mirrors that structure with Vitest suites like `tests/cli.test.ts` and `tests/talking-stick.test.ts`, plus helpers in `tests/fixtures/`. `docs/` holds design notes and release docs, `skills/talking-stick/` ships the portable skill, and `dist/` is generated build output and should not be edited by hand.

## Build, Test, and Development Commands

- `npm install`: install dependencies for local development.
- `npm run build`: compile TypeScript into `dist/` and mark `dist/cli.js` executable.
- `npm test`: run the full Vitest suite once.
- `npm run typecheck`: run strict TypeScript checks without emitting files.

Use Node `>=22`, as declared in `package.json`. For quick manual verification, run commands such as `node dist/cli.js whoami --json` after a build.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add mostlydev/talking-stick/AGENTS.md@sha256:cffb9dc20c8379d2

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261021.0ee4ea1, 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.
