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

This file provides always-loaded guidance for coding agents when working in this repository. Keep it short: put orientation, decision rules, and verification commands here; use linked docs and `rg` for recoverable detail.

## Northstar

Epistemic Protocols is a domain-free metalanguage of structured types and morphisms that moves the cognitive load of human-AI collaboration from recall to recognition. Instead of recalling and writing up front every unknown, decision, and condition a task turns on, the person answers or recognizes each where it binds: unknowns are elicited into utterance, AI attention is constrained without bias, and interaction deficits are resolved at their root within bounded loops, before local misalignment hardens into system-wide rework.

## Entry Path

For a reader who is understanding or evaluating the project rather than changing it — the sections after this one govern changing it:

- `README.md` orients: what the project is for, when to reach for each protocol, and how to install it.
- A protocol's `skills/*/SKILL.md` is that protocol's contract, its formal blocks included.
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jongwony/epistemic-protocols/AGENTS.md@sha256:c74094bb7425978a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261015.65e963f, 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.
