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 — repo orientation for coding agents

crux is four agent skills under [`skills/`](skills) — `crux`, `crux-wiki`, `crux-cockpit`,
`evolve-crux` — plus a stdlib-only Python engine at `skills/crux/scaffold/` (`engine.py`,
`crux.py`, `render.py`, `serve.py`, `webui/`). The root [`./crux`](crux) wrapper forwards
to the engine: `./crux --help` for the verb tour, `./crux selftest` to validate a checkout.

Contributing? The full workflow (ideate → build → validate → ship) is the
[`skills/evolve-crux/SKILL.md`](skills/evolve-crux/SKILL.md) playbook; follow it.

Hard rules, gated before every PR:

- **`./crux selftest` fully green**, and a behavior change adds asserts first
  (tests-first — the failing assert is the reproduction).
- **Stdlib only.** The engine takes no third-party dependency; the webui is no-build
  vanilla JS.
- **Existing vaults still load.** A vault-format or verdict/roll-up/view-logic change
  needs an `ENGINE_VERSION` bump in `engine.py` plus migration proof.
- **The cockpit (`crux serve`) is read-only** — no route ever writes.
- **Never hand-edit generated files** (`META.md`, `EXPERIMENTS.md`, `WIKI.md`, ledger
  blocks) — regenerate via the engine.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add mehdiforoozandeh/crux/AGENTS.md@sha256:f9297c42334c0bd1

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261031.ecd0353, 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.
