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

# Model Citizen

A user-aligned, model-provider-agnostic harness with shared custom primitives and switchable
personal stances. `bin/harness` projects one policy authority into Claude Code and Codex. The global
rules an agent runs under in this repo come from the harness itself, so this file carries only
what is true of this repository.

## For other repositories

- This is the Model Citizen harness. Its checkout is live: a merged change is in effect in the next session.
- Changes land only through a pull request with its own delivery issue, a green Gate block and the review
  requirements in [working-here](.claude/rules/working-here.md#coderabbit-review-and-merging) satisfied. Never push to `main`.
- `product.json` here is the single source of the landing copy the sites render; change copy here, not in a site.

Before changing anything here from a session started in another folder, read
`.claude/rules/working-here.md`. Claude Code loads it by itself only in sessions started in this
repository, on their first file read; every other session and tool must read it.

## Gate

```sh
python3 bin/harness lint
python3 scripts/bmad_issue_sync.py sprint-status --check
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jakeselby/model-citizen/AGENTS.md@sha256:9d1a2670fc905677

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261004.61824f0, 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.
