Use before editing AGENTS.md — enforces the 120-line launch and Steward boundaries, protected operator templates, and focused-document ownership.

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

# Updating AGENTS.md

Use this skill before every `AGENTS.md` edit.

## Hard constraints

- **120-line cap.** Run `wc -l AGENTS.md` before and after every edit. Never
  land growth above 120 or defer extraction.
- **120-line Steward cap.** When routing or PR-lifecycle ownership changes,
  keep `.claude/skills/steward/SKILL.md` at or below 120 lines.
- **Caps are ceilings.** Do not add prose merely to consume available lines.
  Acquire guidance progressively: launch rules in `AGENTS.md`, PR decisions in
  Steward, and mechanics in focused documents.
- **Launch contract only.** Keep the repository mission, immediate routing,
  universal non-negotiables, and protected operator templates. Detailed
  mechanics, rationale, examples, edge cases, command inventories, and
  subsystem rules belong in focused documents.
- **No second index.** `docs/README.md` owns curated navigation. AGENTS may
  link the small set of entrypoints needed to begin work but never grows a
  task catalog.
- **Protect the root README boundary.** When entrypoint guidance changes,
  confirm `README.md` remains a product landing page of at most 120 lines.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add richlander/dotnet-inspect/update-agents-md@sha256:6cc5d021945eae6e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261006.eff0a14, 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.
