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

## Self-contained skills

A skill gets copied as plain files into someone else's project and runs there with nothing installed. Everything it needs ships in its own folder:

- Python code uses the standard library of Python 3.9 only; tests use `unittest`.
- The viewer page loads only files from `skills/runbook-viewer/`; its Content-Security-Policy blocks every other origin. `marked.umd.js` is an upstream release copied as is: to update it, replace the whole file with a newer release and refresh `marked-LICENSE.md`.

## Python code

- Raise `CommandError` for a refused command; only `main` prints it and returns the exit code. Never call `sys.exit` below `main`.
- Reject declaration mistakes at declaration, naming the step and parameter. Never coerce or replace silently. Refuse a lone string where a collection is required.
- Keep commands linear in the run's length. Every command replays the whole history, so never scan the calls or the log inside a loop over them.
- Check a recorded call's current status before changing it. Refuse unsupported statuses without changing state or progress.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add agent-runbooks/skills/AGENTS.md@sha256:a9bc1ab39b18683b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261012.e372ef7, 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.
