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 - Parallel Agent Deploy Steward

This repository allows many agents to work in parallel, but only one deploy
steward may land changes on the protected branch.

This file is self-contained. If the repo does not already have a deploy steward,
create `.agent-steward/deploy-steward.cjs` by copying the exact script from the
`BEGIN_STEWARD_SCRIPT` block below, then run it with Node.

## Operating Model

- 15 agents may implement work at the same time.
- Each implementation agent owns one branch and one pull request.
- Implementation agents never merge their own PRs.
- Implementation agents never deploy directly.
- A single deploy steward owns the merge/deploy lane.

The answer is not 15 agents racing to `main`. The answer is parallel PR
production plus one serialized merge/deploy steward.

## Implementation Agent Contract

When an implementation agent finishes its work:

1. Push the branch.
2. Open or update the pull request.
3. Run the repo's verification command.
4. Write a readiness record:

   `.agent-steward/ready/pr-<number>.json`

   ```json
   {
     "id": "pr-123",
     "pr": "https://github.com/OWNER/REPO/pull/123",
     "branch": "agent/my-branch",
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add sethgammon/citadel/examples/berman-agents-md-only/AGENTS.md@sha256:492b39690bf8e553

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260701.7169885, 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.
