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

# Working on Augustus

Augustus equips agents to find, build, evaluate, and iteratively improve systems
using decision models across software, business, organizations, and life.
Mathematical and scientific methods supply the structure; real outcomes decide
which compositions survive. TypeSafe Jev is the default hosted exemplar; the
mission covers the whole class. Advice delivers a placement, policy and falsifier;
implementation requests deliver working systems/evals; improvement requests
deliver bounded, evidence-led iteration. No model remains a valid design choice.

## Changes that last

- Keep runtime instructions separate from research evidence. `SKILL.md`
  routes to focused references. Source inventories, fingerprints, hourly
  observations, and old PR bookkeeping belong in `research/`.
- Promote a finding only if it changes a design decision. Refine the
  relevant concept instead of appending it to every reference. One source
  claiming a benchmark win does not establish a general rule.
- Synthesize explanatory good/bad patterns, not a median survey. Cross-field
  transfers need a variable/units/assumptions map and a falsifier. Keep theorems,

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add 24601/augustus/AGENTS.md@sha256:eb73ba27e359a633

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260922.9b4d86d, 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.
