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

# CLAUDE.md

This file provides Claude Code-specific guidance for working in the Aegis
repository.

For repository-wide rules, read `AGENTS.md` first. For the current authority
map, read `docs/current/README.md`.

## Project Overview

`Aegis` is a zero-dependency method-pack plugin for AI coding agents. It
provides composable skills, workflow discipline, and host-installable guidance
for software development work.

Aegis is structured as a multi-harness plugin:

- Claude Code
- OpenAI Codex
- OpenCode
- Cursor
- Windsurf
- CodeBuddy
- DeepSeek-TUI
- Trae
- Kimi Code CLI
- Warp (terminal host, no adapter needed)

Current product boundary:

> `Aegis Method Pack (runtime-ready)`

Aegis produces workflow guidance, drafts, hints, projections, and verification
evidence. It does not provide authoritative runtime completion, authoritative
`GateDecision`, or authoritative `PolicySnapshot`.

## Authority Read Order

For non-trivial work:

1. `AGENTS.md`
2. `docs/current/README.md`
3. `docs/adr/ADR-0001-aegis-method-pack-is-not-runtime-core.md`
4. the smallest task-relevant `docs/current/*.md`
5. host-specific docs, when relevant

For Claude Code installation and plugin behavior, also read:

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ganyuanran/aegis/CLAUDE.md@sha256:a0f52b5dab1c4e3a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260813.0c73270, 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.
