Builds a weekly reading list of the most-upvoted daily.dev posts on LLM inference, RAG and AI agents, saves them to a daily.dev bookmark list, and writes a short brief. Use when the user asks for "this week's AI engineering reads", "the AI engineer reading list", "what's worth reading on inference / RAG / agents", or "save the best AI posts".
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
# The AI Engineer Reading List A weekly shortlist of what AI engineers actually upvoted on daily.dev, in three lanes: Inference, RAG, Agents. Curated by Paolo Perrone, author of The AI Engineer newsletter. ## Setup Use the daily.dev MCP server (`https://api.daily.dev/mcp`) if it is connected. Otherwise call the REST API at `https://api.daily.dev/public/v1` with `Authorization: Bearer <token>`, where the token is a daily.dev personal access token (`dda_...`) from daily.dev → Settings → API. Never print the token. ## Steps 1. **Search each lane for the past week.** Call `GET /search/posts?q=<query>&time=week&limit=50` for every query below. Merge the results and dedupe by post `id`. A post belongs to the lane its title is about, never the lane whose query happened to return it first: "10 Best AI GitHub Repositories to Supercharge Your Agent" comes back from the `rag` query but is an Agents post. | Lane | Queries | |---|---| | Inference | `llm inference`, `kv cache`, `vllm`, `quantization`, `llama.cpp` | | RAG | `rag`, `vector database`, `embeddings`, `retrieval` | | Agents | `ai agents`, `mcp`, `agentic`, `tool calling` | …

How to install
mdr add dailydotdev/marketplace/ai-engineer-reading-list@sha256:bc38852353bc89a9The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261027.f13cb58, 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.
