Agent standing rules database: unlimited rules, bounded context — loads only rules matching each task.

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

# Standing Rules Database

A growing database of standing rules, fetched per-job instead of always-injected, to save context. **SQLite (`rules.db`) is the authoritative store; `references/*.md` are generated views.** Consult BEFORE starting any task; load only the rules whose triggers match the job.

## When to Use
Before starting ANY task: run the query, then apply only the matching rules. Consultation is mandatory pre-work, not optional: read-only rule lookups before design/debug/edit.

## How to apply (DB-first)
1. Identify the job's task domain AND its output type (does text leave this chat?).
2. Query: `python scripts/rules_db.py query --match "<domain keywords> <output-type keywords>"` — returns tier-1 mandatory rules (always) plus keyword-matched tier-2 rules with IDs and priorities. Facts: `... facts --domain X`.
3. Apply the returned rules. Log consults that mattered: `... log --task "..." --rule-ids "SR-x,SR-y" --method keyword --reason "..."`.
4. After any DB change, regenerate views: `... export-md` (markdown files are views, never edited by hand).
5. New standing rules go into the DB via the write gate below — never into always-injected memory unless tier-1.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add nmbr5sgit/standing-rules-database-skill/standing-rules-database-skill@sha256:4bd30e4832f83c10

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
