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 — dev-lead workflow adapter

> **What this file is.** A drop-in entry point that lets any file-reading
> coding agent (codex and opencode read `AGENTS.md` natively; agy and others
> can be pointed at it) participate in the
> [dev-lead](https://github.com/aarontzeng/dev-lead) cross-model workflow
> without Claude Code installed. Copy it into your
> project root — or merge the sections below into your existing `AGENTS.md` —
> and fix the one path in the next section.

## Where the skills live

The dev-lead skill suite is checked out at:

```
DEV_LEAD_ROOT=~/path/to/dev-lead        # ← EDIT THIS
```

All references below are relative to that root. If your CLI supports adding
external directories (agy `--add-dir`, opencode external-directory
allow-list), grant it read access to `$DEV_LEAD_ROOT`.

## Reading order

1. `docs/methodology.md` — the rules that govern every role. Read it once
   per session before doing anything else (if you have never seen a run's
   shape, `docs/workflow.md` first, as methodology itself says: it maps the
   phases the rules refer to). Non-negotiables: the cross-family
   review rule, frozen review targets, merge-base spans, evidence gates,
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add aarontzeng/dev-lead/templates/AGENTS.md@sha256:55635cb9e1f86dcd

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260925.e471e34, 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.
