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 — forge-harness Runtime Entry Point

> **Always-loaded layer.** Keep agent selection and rules that must govern every runtime here.
> Load execution examples, compatibility history, and conditional procedures only through the
> imperative pointers below.

## Relationship to CLAUDE.md

| File | Scope | Audience |
|---|---|---|
| `CLAUDE.md` | Resident core (~80 lines): rules that must fire before anything is read | Claude Code |
| `knowledge/shared/harness-core/claude_md_full_reference.md` | The full session rules, protocols, orchestration flow — a `CLAUDE.md §X` reference whose §X is not a `CLAUDE.md` heading resolves here | Claude Code + any runtime reading a cited section |
| `AGENTS.md` | Portable runtime rules, agent roles, dispatch boundaries | AI runtimes + humans |

`CLAUDE.md` governs Claude-native automation. This file is the portable governor entry point for
Codex and other runtimes; they must explicitly read applicable `.claude/rules/*.md`. Runtime-native
features may execute the workflow, but do not automatically import Claude configuration.

> **Whole map (any runtime, read first if you are new here)**: `docs/map/FH_MAP.md` — what FH is, how it is

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add chrono-meta/forge-harness/AGENTS.md@sha256:bff8390c9c1b909d

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261028.7b751c2, 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.
