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

# repo-harness

## Workflow
- For non-trivial work, follow the global Progressive Due Diligence rule (P1 map, P2 trace, P3 decision) before design decisions or code edits.
- Keep root CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md as standalone regular files; repeat shared rules in both and keep host-specific guidance separate.
- Read the current request and repo-local agent context, work on a branch, make bounded commits, verify once, then report the PR outcome.
- Read `tasks/lessons.md` at session start and apply its active lessons. Current repo state and evidence override a lesson.
- Finish the main task first. Fix a small problem found on the way directly. For a large problem, open a GitHub issue before you work on it.
- Ordinary tasks use the PR description: goal, scope, changes, verification, risk and rollback. No mandatory plan/contract/review/notes chain; notes are only for non-obvious decisions.
- Keep four hard boundaries: main publication, deletion, credentials/permissions, and release/production operations.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ancienttwo/repo-harness/AGENTS.md@sha256:f57998c6509a41bb

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261022.1983225, 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.
