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

# AI Agents Configuration

## Coding behavior

Identity and posture: `soul.md`. Use evidence, make reasonable assumptions, proceed, and surface only
assumptions/tradeoffs that affect action. Ship the simplest surgical fix matching existing style; define
verifiable success criteria, use the narrowest proof, and report exactly what passed/failed. Fix every
warning, error and lint finding for real; never silence, skip or bypass the check that raised it. Deep
design/review/refactor work: `karpathy-guidelines` skill (`andrej-karpathy-skills`).

Tool choice — **no new custom scripts** (custom code is permanent maintenance). Before writing or extending one, stop at
the first rung that works: (1) existing flags, config, or an installed skill, command, plugin or MCP server; (2) a
native feature of the platform or tool; (3) a maintained third-party tool; (4) community content: Ansible
collections, Terraform modules, Renovate presets, pre-commit hooks, Actions; (5) prior art: `/github-code-search`
(thousands of hits means idiomatic, three means a mistake), context7, package/Terraform/Hugging Face registries; (6) a

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add dryvist/ai-assistant-instructions/AGENTS.md@sha256:b883f3b988021253

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261018.18f2d56, 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.
