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 Guidance for AI agents working in the capabilities repo. Manifest fields, component types (agents / skills / tools / MCP / workers), and discovery rules live in the public docs at [docs.dreadnode.io/capabilities/overview](https://docs.dreadnode.io/capabilities/overview/). Read those before adding or restructuring a capability — this file covers repo-local conventions only. --- ## Layout All capabilities live under `capabilities/`. Each is a directory with `capability.yaml` at its root plus any combination of `agents/`, `skills/`, `tools/`, `mcp/`, `workers/`, `tests/`. --- ## Validation ```bash just validate # every capability pre-commit run --files <paths> # ruff, ruff-format, check-yaml, gitleaks uv run --script <cap>/mcp/test_server.py # when the capability ships tests ``` Run these before declaring work complete. Don't bypass hooks — fix the underlying issue. --- ## Authoring LLM-facing tools - **Name the knob, not the mode.** A flag toggles what gets registered, it isn't the resulting mode. `apollo: on/off` beats `readonly: on/off`. …

How to install
mdr add dreadnode/capabilities/AGENTS.md@sha256:8221f58c9dd78504The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.ba11ee9, 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.
