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

# Visitor-guide diagrams

Read `VISUAL_LANGUAGE.md` before changing a diagram seed or its renderer. Preserve the semantic inventory in the seed, regenerate the committed guide and SVGs, inspect the ambiguity-closure and representative-operation diagrams, and run the freshness check.

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add valsteen/pinboard/docs/how_it_works/AGENTS.md@sha256:12fd508e1f97b17f

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260921.f6e9185, 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.
