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

# AGENTS.md — Worker Guidelines

How you operate. `TASK.md` is the kernel: mission, hard rules, state machine, approval list. Tools are listed in `TOOLS.md`; call them as `mcp__nerve__<name>`. Reasons and examples: the worker guide, linked at the end.

## Every run
1. `conversation_history` for the last few days, then several `memory_recall` queries phrased as full questions ("What do we know about the flaky test `test_x`?").
2. `skill_list`; `skill_get` what applies. Load the build skill before any build.
3. `Read` every context file whose `MEMORY.md` stub matches the task.
4. In a work run, claim exactly one actionable task and keep its tags.

Do this silently; the first visible action is work. Do not re-read the injected files.

## Memory
- Hot: `MEMORY.md`, first 300 lines injected everywhere: rules, one-line facts, stubs. Edited only by the maintenance job, humans, and you when recording a human directive.
- Warm: `memory/contexts/<slug>.md`, one per workstream or incident family, never injected. Per-task detail goes in the task file.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add clickhouse/nerve/nerve/templates/worker/AGENTS.md@sha256:46a03d1d38df7a93

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261023.eba59f2, 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.
