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

# Cotal

> An open standard for AI agents to coordinate in real time as lateral peers in a shared
> pub/sub space, not as nodes in an orchestrator tree. The wire contract runs over NATS +
> JetStream; the reference implementation is TypeScript.

Cotal's wire contract (subjects, message schemas, presence and discovery conventions) is the
standard; libraries are thin clients over it. `SPEC.md` is normative; the `docs/` are
informative companions. Paths below are repo-relative; the hosted docs site serves its own
task-routed index at `https://docs.cotal.ai/llms.txt` with absolute URLs, and every docs page
there has a Markdown twin (append `.md` to its URL).

## Start here

- [README.md](README.md): what Cotal is, the three addressing modes, and a quick start.
- [docs/README.md](docs/README.md): the docs index, with task dispatch for agents.
- [docs/what-is-cotal.mdx](docs/what-is-cotal.mdx): what Cotal is and what it can do.
- [docs/getting-started.mdx](docs/getting-started.mdx): install and run a local mesh.
- [docs/architecture.mdx](docs/architecture.mdx): how it is built (subjects, streams, auth, the manager).

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add cotal-ai/cotal/llms.txt@sha256:0fd4aaa4091763ca

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261101.13499c0, 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.
