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 — Aiden agent contract
The contract the Aiden agent honours on every turn, and the public surface
it exposes for callers (CLI, OpenAI-compatible HTTP API, channel adapters).
---
## What the agent is
Aiden is a **single-loop tool-calling agent** with a 90-turn cap. Every
turn:
1. Build / refresh the system prompt (8-slot composition: SOUL → personality
→ memory → user → skills → llama-hint → budget → environment).
2. Send the conversation + tool schemas to the active provider.
3. If the provider returns a tool-use response → dispatch each tool call
sequentially through the injected `toolExecutor`, append the results
as `tool` messages, loop.
4. If the provider returns a final assistant message → exit the loop.
There is **no planner / responder split**. There is **no subagent fanout**.
The single-loop architecture prevents fabrication by design: the model
either calls a tool or it ends the turn — there is no third "imagine the
result" path.
Source: `core/v4/aidenAgent.ts`.

How to install
mdr add taracodlabs/aiden/AGENTS.md@sha256:e1367bb75b59fb63The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260711.5487b7f, 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.
