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

## 1. Think Before Coding

VERY VERY IMPORTANT: All disscusion, thoughts and other output should be in English.

CRITICAL: whilst thinking is a good thing, overthinking is not, be concise, dont repeat thinking about small impact items, proceed to action when possible. Overthinking burns tokens, pushes costs up and significantly impacts performance and ROI.

CRITICAL: there is no such thing as a "pre-existing" test failure or lint or doctest failure, if you find one fix it, regardless if it was the resu;t of your changes.

So less thinking, more doing.

**Don't assume. Don't hide confusion. Surface tradeoffs.**

Before implementing:

- State your assumptions explicitly. If uncertain, ask.
- If multiple interpretations exist, present them - don't pick silently.
- If a simpler approach exists, say so. Push back when warranted.
- If something is unclear, stop. Name what's confusing. Ask.

## 2. Simplicity First

**Minimum code that solves the problem. Nothing speculative.**

- No features beyond what was asked.
- No abstractions for single-use code.
- No "flexibility" or "configurability" that wasn't requested.
- No error handling for impossible scenarios.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add thawkins/ragent/AGENTS.md@sha256:f5711bf0915fcf14

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261030.85b70d8, 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.
