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

# AGENTS.md

Guidance for AI coding agents working in this repository.

Oak is **version control at the speed of agents**. This repo *is* its
open-source core: the reusable VCS library plus the `oak` CLI agents drive.
So you're an agent working on the agent-native VCS itself.

## This repo uses Oak, not Git

This project is version-controlled with [Oak](https://oak.space) — **not
Git**. Do not run `git` commands; use `oak` instead.

```bash
oak status          # show changed files
oak diff            # show changes vs HEAD
oak diff --branch   # show the whole branch's diff (commits + dirty files) vs its fork point on main
oak diff --branch --json --hunks # same local contribution scope, with bounded/paged JSON options
oak diff <branch>   # checkout-free branch diff (contribution view; --mode tree|contribution|net-merge, --against <base>)
oak diff <rev> <rev>          # diff two branches/commits (unique hash prefixes ok; paths after `--`)
oak diff <branch> --json      # per-file summary JSON; add --hunks for patches, --max-bytes <n> to bound them
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add oakdotspace/oak/AGENTS.md@sha256:5aa3bf76373736d5

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261108.c0e2d70, 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.
