Protect repository history during AI-assisted and agentic coding by tagging a restore point before each session, forbidding history-rewriting operations, and verifying actual repo state before claiming anything about it. Use this whenever an AI agent (Claude Code or similar) is about to make changes to a git repository, whenever you are about to run or recommend git operations that could lose work, and whenever you are about to document or report the state of a repo.

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
# Git Discipline An AI agent with write access to a repository is fast, occasionally wrong, and does not feel the loss when work disappears. The cost of a destroyed branch or a force-pushed history is paid by the human. The discipline here is the cheap insurance that makes agentic editing safe: a restore point before every session, a hard prohibition on operations that rewrite shared history, and a refusal to claim repo state without checking it. ## Tag a restore point before every session Before an agent touches the repo, create an annotated tag at the current HEAD. A tag is a named, permanent anchor you can return to no matter what the session does to the working tree or branch. It costs nothing and it is the difference between "undo the session" and "reconstruct it from memory". ```bash git tag -a "pre-session-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)" -m "restore point before AI session" ``` Recovery is then trivial: `git reset --hard <tag>` returns to exactly the pre-session state. `scripts/pre_session_tag.sh` wraps this and prints the tag name. ## Forbid history rewriting in agent prompts …

How to install
mdr add annatchijova/skills/git-discipline@sha256:45902eb35d020ca4The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260709.57c660d, 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.
