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

# Engineering rules

- Read README.md, relevant docs/ files and nearby tests before changing code.
  Work only in the assigned worktree; preserve unrelated edits.
- Use atomic conventional commits and a pull request. Never push directly to main.
  Never force-push, including `--force` or `--force-with-lease` on git or gh.
  Never use `--no-verify` or `--admin` to bypass checks or branch protection.
  Never rebase a pushed branch; update it with `git fetch origin` then
  `git merge origin/main` in the assigned worktree.
- Never merge a PR marked "do not merge", or with failing or pending required
  checks. Merge only when authorized. After updating a branch, require new checks
  on its new head; a previous green SHA is not evidence for the current one.
- Wait on CI with `lacquer wait pr <N>`; never `gh pr checks --watch` or polling.
  Exit 0 is passed; 1 failed, 2 timed out, 3 no checks, 4 wait failed.
  Before a follow-up push run `lacquer ci-round begin <N>` with `--reason` for a
  failure fix or `--review` for requested changes. Stop on exit 10; never reset
  the round budget without human authorization.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add patrickserrano/lacquer/evals/rules/contexts/core/AGENTS.md@sha256:a0f7f78bfe0613c3

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260925.a6a93b6, 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.
