Injects Lemon AI Hub's standard AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md guidelines into the current workspace. Enforces Andrej Karpathy's surgical coding style, simplicity, and goal-driven execution.
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
# Karpathy Guidelines This skill injects the high-engineering standards of the Lemon AI Hub into your project. It ensures that any AI agent working on this codebase follows the **Andrej Karpathy surgical coding style**. ## Purpose - **AGENTS.md**: Standardizes behavioral guidelines (Think before coding, Simplicity first, Surgical changes, Goal-driven execution). - **CLAUDE.md**: Configures session setup rules and entry points for the active agent. ## Usage Use this skill when you want to: - Initialize a new project with professional AI-native guidelines. - Update an existing project to match the Lemon.dev engineering philosophy. - Fix "vibe coding" issues by enforcing structured reasoning and minimal changes. ## Commands Run the injection script from your terminal: ```bash # From the root of your project bash ~/.claude/skills/karpathy-guidelines/scripts/inject.sh ``` > **Note:** The script will backup your existing `AGENTS.md` or `CLAUDE.md` if they don't already contain the Lemon AI Hub marker. ## Philosophy Following Karpathy's recipe means: 1. **Understand first:** No implementation without explicit assumptions. …

How to install
mdr add andersonlimahw/lemon-ai-hub/karpathy-guidelines@sha256:9ce6f3d50984018bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260614.2f67b30, 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.
