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.md — read this first

Onboarding for any agentic tool landing in this project — Claude Code, Codex
App, Cursor, Copilot, or otherwise. Read this before touching anything.

## What this project is

Orbital is an AI agent orchestration platform: a management agent that
delegates work to sub-agents (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, ...) and keeps
a persistent memory of state, decisions, and lessons across sessions instead
of starting cold every time. This repo is **dual-purpose** — it is both
Orbital's own product source (`agent_os/` Python daemon, `web/` React
frontend) *and* a live dogfooding workspace: an Orbital instance manages
this project's own feature backlog using the same memory system described
below. When you land here, you may be touching product code, or you may be
extending the memory that runs the dogfooding loop itself.

## The memory system (read this section fully — it's the core of this file)

Orbital's memory lives under `orbital/`. Each file has a distinct job:

- **`orbital/PROJECT_STATE.md`** — what's true *right now*: current focus,
  in-progress work, blockers, next steps. Read first, every session. It's
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add zqiren/orbital/AGENTS.md@sha256:49591dff3f081c10

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260819.c852b59, 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.
