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
# Assistant Service — Agent Instructions For error handling conventions (throw vs result objects vs null), see [docs/error-handling.md](docs/error-handling.md). Subdirectory-scoped rules live in local AGENTS.md files throughout `src/`, some of them nested several levels down. Read the one nearest the code you are changing plus any above it, and follow the nearest where two disagree. `git ls-files ':(top)assistant/src/**/AGENTS.md'` lists them from anywhere in the tree. ## Adding new environment variables When you introduce a new env var that the assistant process needs to read at runtime, **update `src/tools/terminal/safe-env.ts`** as well. `safe-env.ts` maintains the allowlist of env vars that are forwarded to agent-spawned child processes (bash tool, skill sandbox, etc.). Anything not on the list is stripped to prevent credential leakage. If your new var is needed by commands the agent runs, it must be added. **Default to including it.** If the var doesn't contain secrets (e.g. a URL, a feature flag, a path, a mode string), add it. Only omit it if it carries credential material (tokens, passwords, private keys) — those must stay isolated to CES. …

How to install
mdr add vellum-ai/vellum-assistant/assistant/AGENTS.md@sha256:ccbc34c5f5806b17The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260916.ebad791, 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.
