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 Guide

This document covers the core concepts, lifecycle, and configuration of agents in Open Managed Agents.

---

## Core Concepts

Open Managed Agents is built around a **meta-harness** architecture with four key abstractions:

### Agent

An **agent** is a configuration object that defines _what_ an AI assistant can do. It specifies the model, system prompt, available tools, skills, and optional connections to other agents or MCP servers.

Agents are versioned — every update creates a new version. Sessions bind to a specific agent version at creation time.

### Session

A **session** is a running conversation between a user and an agent. It owns an append-only **event log** stored in a Durable Object backed by SQLite. Sessions are the unit of state — agents themselves are stateless configurations.

Sessions can be streamed in real-time via SSE, resumed after crashes, and archived when complete.

### Environment

An **environment** defines the execution sandbox — what packages are installed, what networking is allowed, and what container image to use. Environments are reusable across sessions and agents.

### Vault

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add openma-ai/open-managed-agents/AGENTS.md@sha256:171441c35adf656a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261101.26bb5ec, 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.
