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

# zetetic-team-subagents

The plugin that defines the agents, skills, commands, hooks and rules every other
repository runs under. Python tooling, Markdown agent definitions.

This file is deliberately short: the host loads what it needs on demand. Everything that
used to be here is in `docs/agent-guidance.md` (repo-specific constraints, etiquette).
Read it before any non-trivial change.

## Commands

```bash
bash tests/run-all.sh                                   # full test suite
ZETETIC_PROFILE=strict bash tools/zetetic-checker.sh --staged
bash tools/doc-count-check.sh
bash tools/doc-command-check.sh
```

## Non-negotiables

- Any `.md` under `agents/` is parsed as an agent definition. Non-agent documentation
  goes in `rules/`, never in `agents/`.
- The zetetic spine is generated, not hand-edited: `scripts/generate-spine.py` injects
  the `<zetetic-spine>` block into every anchor-bearing agent. Edit the generator, never
  the outputs.
- This clone is live-mounted as the installed plugin: edits take effect immediately in
  running sessions. Never edit `~/.Codex/plugins/cache`; change it here.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add cdeust/zetetic-team-subagents/AGENTS.md@sha256:48b983bf96159390

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260917.288eff7, 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.
