Load and enforce the hard rules every oleg-koval/* starter must obey. Use when starting or auditing work in saas-init, ts-npm-starter, go-starter, py-starter, or any future oleg-koval template repo. Covers functional style, 300-line file cap, E2E > unit tests, pre-commit hooks, no-comment policy, KISS/DRY/SOLID, and Vertical Slice as default architecture for SaaS/app starters.
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
<!-- Generated by scripts/build-adapters.sh. Do not edit directly. --> # Starter Rules ## Overview Load the canonical hard rules for every `oleg-koval/*` starter repo and verify the current repo complies with them. Produces a compliance report and a list of gaps to fix. ## When to Use - Starting a new coding session in any `oleg-koval/*` template repo - Auditing an existing starter for rule compliance before a release or PR merge - Onboarding a new contributor (human or AI) to a starter - After a large refactor, to verify rules have not been silently violated Do not use for repos outside the `oleg-koval` namespace unless they explicitly reference `RULES.md`. ## Workflow 1. **Load the rules**: read `RULES.md` from the repo root. If absent, fetch it from `https://github.com/oleg-koval/starters/blob/main/RULES.md` and note that the starter is missing a local copy. 2. **Apply §2 hard rules**: for the current task or PR diff, verify: - No file exceeds 300 lines (`find . -name '*.ts' -o -name '*.py' -o -name '*.go' | xargs wc -l | awk '$1 > 300 && $2 != "total"'`) - No functions produce side effects outside of boundary layers …

How to install
mdr add oleg-koval/agent-skills/starter-rules@sha256:69befa6c592dd6fdThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260828.aaaffd4, 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.
