Compact router for Psyche's private-memory and procedure domains (pad, knowledge, skills), the shared file→rebuild model, redacted settings, and the separate fixed-instructions disclosure and retirement guidance.

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

# Psyche

Psyche is the read-only public root for **Pad + Knowledge memory and the Skills catalog**.
Routine schema-sufficient calls may go directly to their action. For unfamiliar
or consequential work, read the matching domain manual first; use this router
only if the domain is unclear. There is no required router-then-domain double read.

## Routing table

| Call (strict `input={}`) | Returns / owner |
|---|---|
| `psyche(action="pad", input={}, reasoning="load Pad guidance")` | Pad manual: `system/pad.md`, `system/pad_append.json` |
| `psyche(action="knowledge", input={}, reasoning="load knowledge guidance")` | Knowledge manual: `knowledge/<name>/KNOWLEDGE.md` |
| `psyche(action="skills", input={}, reasoning="load skills guidance")` | Skills manual: `.library/{intrinsic,custom}/` and configured paths |
| `psyche(action="instructions", input={}, reasoning="reference index")` | short table of contents only; optional `reference` reads one exact loaded owner |
| `psyche(action="covenant", input={}, reasoning="load the effective Covenant")` | current loaded Covenant body, not a tool manual; custom source/mirror preserved |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add lingtai-ai/lingtai-kernel/psyche-manual@sha256:f66cda1acde3eadb

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261017.6531f09, 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.
