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.

## Recording the work (mnema)

This repository keeps a signed record of its decisions in `.mnema/`. Where the mnema tools are connected:

- At the start of a session, call `bootstrap`: it opens with what is in force, what awaits a judgement and the work in flight.
- Before changing a file, call `governing_rules` with its path.
- When a choice is settled, with the person or alone, that someone could later question (a library, an approach, a trade-off, an option turned down), call `record_decision` in that turn, with the `rationale` and, in `alternatives`, what was turned down and why. Record it even when it is also written in a plan, a ledger, this file or your own memory.
- A decision is born `proposed`; once it is accepted it is in force here (an acceptance made by an agent is recorded as an agent’s, and `mnema switch off agent-accepts` leaves it to a person).

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add felipesauer/mnema/.cursor/rules/mnema-instructions.mdc@sha256:53ae32010476a8dd

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261029.28f8727, 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.
