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
# Using VERA as an AI agent This file teaches AI coding agents how to use VERA to retrieve context from documents. ## What is an `.vera` file? A single SQLite vector database containing ready-made chunks, JSON metadata, pre-computed embeddings, and optional opaque attachments. Extraction may record pages, headings, figures, and regions as metadata or attachments. You can search it instantly — no parsing, chunking, embedding API calls, or retrieval service. See [docs/vera-spec-v0.2.md](docs/vera-spec-v0.2.md) for the current format specification. ## Quick reference All one-shot commands support `--json` for machine-readable output on stdout. `vera mcp` is a long-running stdio server and does not accept `--json`. ```bash # Search a document (hybrid = semantic + keyword, best default) vera search manual.vera "stormwater detention requirements" --top-k 5 --json # Search a folder of .vera files as one corpus (results include "file") vera search ./library "stormwater detention requirements" --top-k 5 --json # Search nested folders directly, or build a persistent local library index vera search ./library "stormwater detention requirements" --recursive --json …

How to install
mdr add dkylewillis/vera/AGENTS.md@sha256:1754d92c118f6820The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261104.b78af8e, 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.
