Fix Lacquer drift, sync or onboard a project, change managed checks, relax a baseline, refuse a dependency update, or retire a project.
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
# Working With Lacquer Lacquer renders shared content — CLAUDE.md regions, skills, commands, lint configs, git hooks, CI workflows — from one repo into every project. A project declares its shape in `.lacquer.toml`; `lacquer sync` writes the content; `lacquer audit` checks the project against it and is wired into CI. The rule that explains every mechanism below: **a lacquer-managed file is identical to the lacquer's copy, or it is excluded. There is no third state.** A quietly-edited copy is how one project's pre-commit hook ends up weaker than its CI while looking healthy. ## Is this file mine? ```sh lacquer audit # classifies every managed unit, lists the ones that aren't clean lacquer status # each CLAUDE region's stamped version vs the lacquer's latest ``` If `audit` lists it, the lacquer owns it. Typically: `.swiftlint.yml`, `.swiftformat`, `biome.json`, `deno.jsonc`, `.pre-commit-config.yaml`, `lefthook.yml`, `.github/workflows/<profile>-*.yml`, `.claude/skills/**`, `.claude/commands/**`, and the `<!-- lacquer:… -->` regions inside `CLAUDE.md` / `AGENTS.md`. Text *outside* those markers in a CLAUDE.md is the project's and is preserved. ## Exit codes …

How to install
mdr add patrickserrano/lacquer/working-with-lacquer@sha256:b9088d237410924fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260924.6411787, 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.
