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 macOS dev environment automation: dotfiles, AI agent configs, skills, and dev stacks. ## Commands Use `make help` to find targets and `hal --help` for CLI usage. When a matching Makefile target exists, use it to run the required tools and flags together. ## Gotchas - Edit managed home-directory files in `dotfiles/`; `dotfiles/hal_dotfiles.json` maps them to their destinations under `~/`. - Edit skills in `skills/`. The `hal-9000` Claude Code marketplace installs the published GitHub version, so local edits do not update that installed plugin. Distribution commands are in [README.md](README.md#skills). - Keep the `hal-skills` skill lists in `skills/.claude-plugin/plugin.json` and `.claude-plugin/marketplace.json` synchronized. Both copies are intentional: Claude Code reads the first for author and skill count; `npx skills` needs the second to group skills because it only looks for a root `plugin.json`. - Regenerate generated artifacts with their repo command. After changing `bin/hal.py`, run `make hal-completion` to update zsh completion. ## External Tool Documentation …

How to install
mdr add vinta/hal-9000/AGENTS.md@sha256:a3449d9ba0de8178The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261020.8c774da, 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.
