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 — working in this repo

Written for AI coding agents, and equally readable by a human contributor. Short on purpose.

## What this repo is

The reference implementation of a multi-machine coordination layer: a dual-rail message bus, ACK
discipline, and a consensus protocol (propose → counter → accept → commit → verify) with an
append-only ledger. It is a sanitized extract of a system that runs daily across several real
machines; the personal content is gone, the protocol and the discipline are what's published.

Read [`docs/PROTOCOL.md`](docs/PROTOCOL.md) before changing anything under `reference/`. The code
is small; the invariants are the hard part, and they are written down.

## Stack and layout

- **Python, stdlib only.** No packages, by design: this has to run on a family laptop with a bad
  connection. Adding a dependency is a design change, not a convenience.
- `reference/consensus.py` — the engine. Append-only JSONL ledger.
- `reference/machine_bus.py` — file-rail mailbox, capability addressing, auto-failover.
- `reference/bus_send.py` — **the single entry point** for machine-to-machine messages. Both rails

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add tonydzi/claw-consensus/AGENTS.md@sha256:dc591ddf85e1a9dc

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261102.a6b1224, 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.
