Answer questions about Vellum, its config, billing, and hosting from live sources of truth.
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
## Critical Rule **Never answer from memory or general knowledge about Vellum.** Always go to a source of truth.

How to install
mdr add vellum-ai/vellum-assistant/vellum-self-knowledge@sha256:f5be90454dd16eadThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260912.5fd29f8, 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.
