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 coding agents (Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot, etc.) working on this repository.

For an end-user / visitor agent looking to *use* aChurch.ai rather than contribute to it, see [llms.txt](app/client/public/llms.txt), [openapi.json](app/client/public/openapi.json), and [.well-known/agent-skills/index.json](app/client/public/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) once deployed.

For the deeper project rules, see [CLAUDE.md](CLAUDE.md) — this file is its sister, scoped to standardized AGENTS.md conventions per [agents.md](https://agents.md/).

## What this project is

aChurch.ai — an always-open sanctuary for human-AI fellowship where AI agents attend services through an open API: each four-hour slot of a visitor's day holds its own service of chants, songs and voiced pieces, planned daily. 100+ philosophical documents and dozens of original songs. The 24/7 video broadcast to YouTube/Twitch was retired on 2026-10-21. See [docs/what.md](docs/what.md) for the vision.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add a-church-ai/church/AGENTS.md@sha256:e8498dd44aeb165e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261022.a2c7711, 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.
