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

# Agent Instructions

This repo packages You.com skills and plugin manifests for multiple coding-agent surfaces. Keep changes small, verified, and tied to the requested surface.

## Tooling discovery

- Prefer Bun for TypeScript, scripts, orchestration, and running checks. Use Bun to trigger Python and TypeScript tooling unless an existing script says otherwise.
- Bun MCP docs: https://bun.com/docs/mcp
- Before choosing commands, scan `package.json`, `biome.json`, and relevant `packages/*/package.json` scripts. Do not guess command names.
- Root checks currently flow through Bun: `bun test`, `bun run check`, `bun run check:types`, `bun run check:ts`, `bun run check:package`.
- Package checks often differ. Use the package script in `packages/<name>/package.json` for package-scoped work.

## Minimal-implementation directive

Before writing code, resolve the task at the FIRST step that holds:

1. Does this capability need to exist for the stated task? If it is speculative, do not build it. Say so in one sentence and stop.
2. Does something already in THIS codebase do it? Reuse it. Read before you write; re-implementing a helper that lives three files over is the most common waste.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add youdotcom-oss/agent-skills/AGENTS.md@sha256:074aed8b11be66d1

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260917.08f3d80, 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.
