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 automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Knowledge Pack — DIFC Fintech Licensing (DFSA)

## Overview

The **Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC)** is an independent international financial centre established by UAE Federal Decree in 2004. The **Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA)** is its financial regulator, operating under the **Regulatory Law 2004** and issuing sector-specific rulebooks. DIFC operates under **English-law-inspired common law**, with DIFC Courts providing high-quality dispute resolution.

DIFC is the largest and most established financial free zone in the MENA region, with:
- Over 5,000 registered companies
- 3,600+ licensed firms
- Significant cluster of banks, asset managers, insurance companies, and fintech firms

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add thomasmoreai/legal-skills-open/kb-fintech-licensing-difc-sboghossian@sha256:b5ae11d47e50372c

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, 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.
