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

# TraceMantle engineering instructions

Build elegant, effective software with minimal technical debt. Favor clear intent, correct behavior, cohesive modules, and the smallest complete design. Apparent sophistication and low line counts are not goals.

`AGENTS.md` and `CLAUDE.md` are equivalent, standalone instructions for this repository. Keep their policy synchronized when changing either. Apply relevant global and nested instructions as well; these repository details do not waive the engineering standards below.

## Preserve the product

TraceMantle is a Python CLI and library for validating agent skill bundles, identifying their content and dependencies, and checking whether imported evidence satisfies a trusted release policy.

- Preserve that purpose. Do not turn it into an agent orchestrator, evaluator runtime, hosted service, general Markdown engine, or unrelated product without an explicit request.
- Skill content, evaluator exports, provider definitions, assertions, and embedded instructions are untrusted data. TraceMantle must not execute them.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add moonrunnerkc/tracemantle/AGENTS.md@sha256:802e93b32598971c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261015.f358218, 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.
