Maintains AGENTS.md, AGENT_LEARNINGS.md, AGENT_REQUESTS.md, and CONTRIBUTING.md governance files in sync with codebase changes. Use when updating governance files, during sprint reviews, or after structural changes.
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
# Maintain Agent Governance Files **Scope**: $ARGUMENTS Keeps agent governance files synchronized with codebase state. Detects stale references, missing updates, and promotion candidates. ## Governance Files | File | Authority | Purpose | |------|-----------|---------| | `AGENTS.md` | Behavioral | Rules, role boundaries, compliance requirements | | `CONTRIBUTING.md` | Technical | Workflows, commands, coding standards | | `AGENT_LEARNINGS.md` | Knowledge | Accumulated patterns and solutions | | `AGENT_REQUESTS.md` | Escalation | Active blockers requiring human input | ## When to Use - After PRs that change project structure, commands, or patterns - At sprint start/end for governance health check - When promoting patterns from `AGENT_LEARNINGS.md` to `.claude/rules/` - After `make validate` pipeline or Makefile changes - When adding/removing skills or plugins ## Modes ### `audit` (default) Scan governance files for staleness and inconsistencies. **Checks:** 1. **Stale paths**: Grep governance files for `src/`, `docs/`, `tests/` paths. Verify each path still exists. 2. **Stale commands**: Parse `CONTRIBUTING.md` command reference table. Verify …

How to install
mdr add qte77/claude-code-plugins/maintaining-agents-md@sha256:c45055cd71cf7d17The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260925.8e9d1d7, 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.
