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

# ripwire — guide for coding agents

You are working **on ripwire's own source**. This file is the orientation an agent needs before it
touches this repo; it is not a manual for using the tool.

`ripwire` is a zero-runtime-dependency C++23 CLI. It crawls a codebase, extracts symbols with
tree-sitter, resolves references into a call graph, ranks the graph with Personalized PageRank, and
streams a deterministic minified XML map to stdout. Around that core sits the verb catalog in
`docs/COMMANDS.md` — navigation, diff-awareness, quality, retrieval — and an MCP server so an agent
can call them mid-task.

## Where to look

| Question | File |
| --- | --- |
| What does the tool do? Which flag answers which question? | `README.md`, `docs/COMMANDS.md`, `./build/ripwire --help` |
| How is it built internally? Pipeline, data model, determinism contract | `docs/ARCHITECTURE.md` |
| How is any published number measured? | `docs/EVALS.md` |
| Changing a DEFAULT, a legend, a ceiling or a cut? Read this first | `docs/METHODOLOGY.md` §9 — terminality is the objective, the ceiling is a constraint, honesty lives in attributes |
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add redhat-et/ripwire/CLAUDE.md@sha256:ef99d48c56d979a8

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260925.02fad65, 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.
