License
a license file GitHub does not identify

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

# Project

## Introduction

@md/introduction.md

## Documentation

Design documentation is tracked in the mdbook:

@md/SUMMARY.md

The module structure and important flows chapters are particularly useful for understanding the codebase:

@md/design/module-structure.md

@md/design/important-flows.md

## Instructions

Agent MUST follow the following guidance:

* **Check common issues first**: Before starting a coding task, review `md/design/common-issues.md` for recurring bug patterns that may apply to your work.
* **Update design documentation**: Update the mdbook chapters in `md/design` as appropriate so that they are kept current. This will help both you and future agents to remember how things work.
* **Check that everything builds and don't forget tests**: After making changes, remember to check that the typescript + swift + Rust code builds and to run tests.
* **Co-authorship**: Include "Co-authored-by" with your agent identifier (e.g., "Claude <claude@anthropic.com>") to indicate AI collaboration.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add symposium-dev/symposium/AGENTS.md@sha256:9a1ccce34f5282c1

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260406.6579d9c, 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.
