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

### Configuration System

`Paths.user_projects_dir()` uses `extended_length_path()` on native Windows.
All document paths, including staging and retention walks, inherit the same
extended drive/UNC namespace even when the root itself is short. Persisted
`stored_relpath` values and Docker mount paths retain their existing spelling.
`project_document_path()` still resolves symlinks and checks confinement using
the same namespace for both the user projects root and the document path.
Do not prefix only paths already exceeding MAX_PATH: appended filenames and
derived companions can cross the limit later.

Operator prompt overlays: `lead_prompt_overlay` on AppConfig and
`subagents.agents.<name>.prompt_overlay` accept literal `prepend`/`append` strings.
The per-assembly snapshot owns these settings; no run-context override exists.
DeerMem owns its separate `memory.backend_config.prompt_prepend`/`prompt_append`
fields so the memory package remains host-agnostic.

Custom Agent `AgentConfig.display_name` is an optional, whitespace-trimmed Unicode
label of at most 100 Unicode code points. C0/C1 controls and bidirectional
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add bytedance/deer-flow/backend/packages/harness/deerflow/config/AGENTS.md@sha256:1c9144e2606e3b28

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261020.0d73798, 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.
