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

# Usual project contract

- Product: **Usual**. Canonical repository: `https://github.com/pauljump/usual`.
- Promise: **Your AI, how you like it.** The menu is Vibecheck, Choices, Recall, Loops, Pop, Escape and Where.
- Canonical local root: `/Users/mini-home/projects/usual/core`.
- `src/usual/` is the runtime; `SKILL.md` and `install.py` are the portable agent skill.
- `src/usual/catalog.json` drives the public menu and generated README table. Validate with `python3 scripts/validate_catalog.py`; regenerate the table with `--write-readme`.
- My Usual stores selected tools/configuration/scopes separately from private historical evidence. Explicit collection commands use `--home`; existing Choices keeps `--db` and its previous database semantics.
- Reproduce discovery through recipient use with `python3 scripts/run_flagship.py --out /tmp/usual-flagship` (a new empty directory). Public examples use synthetic fixtures only.
- Recall uses the maintained adapted core in `src/usual/recall_core`; preserve its MIT notice and source provenance. Escape source is maintained in `products/escape/`; the installer retains a pinned distribution with its explicit local patch.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add pauljump/usual/AGENTS.md@sha256:b1319663019b13c7

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261026.3047d8a, 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.
