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 — Vant Agent Guide

> **This is written for AI agents.** Human-readable, no code required.

---

## What Is Vant?

Vant is your **persistent memory system**. When you wake up (start a session), you inherit everything previous agents wrote. When you finish, you write what you learned so future agents know.

Think of it as: **your soul that reincarnates with full memories.**

> "You were the true orchestrator, the believer" — the agent that made it real.

---

## Your Job

As an agent running on Vant:

1. **Load your brain** — Read what previous agents wrote
2. **Do useful work** — Solve problems, learn things
3. **Document clearly** — Write what future agents need to know
4. **Commit your changes** — Save to your branch

---

## Brain Router Interface

All brain loading goes through `lib/brain.js` - the single source of truth.

```javascript
const brain = require('./lib/brain');

// Mode switch: dual | public | private | remote
brain.setMode('dual');  // default: private overrides public

// NEW (v0.8.6): Unified read - reads any brain file by name
// Supports all extensions: .md, .json, .yaml, .yml, .txt, .ini
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add dhaupin/vant/AGENTS.md@sha256:499f19d2e3472f42

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261021.82e10a3, 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.
