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 — grounded-forge

This file is the entry point for coding agents (Codex and other AGENTS.md-aware
tools) working in this repository. Claude Code reads `CLAUDE.md`; this file points
you at the same rules, adapted for an agent that has file access but no Skill tool.

## Read these first

1. **`CLAUDE.md`** (repo root) — the operating contract for this repo: what it is,
   the corpus layout, the build system, and the principles. Read it in full before
   editing. Where CLAUDE.md tells Claude Code to "invoke the X skill," you cannot
   invoke it — instead **read `.claude/skills/X/SKILL.md` and follow it as a written
   procedure.** Skills here are documented protocols, not callable tools.
2. The architecture docs CLAUDE.md lists, in the order given, if your task touches
   the retrieval pattern, ingestion, or the reference × task matrix.

## Non-negotiable: Source Integrity

**Preserve full source coverage. Never silently degrade it to work around a
constraint.** If a task needs the full text of a source and you cannot read it all
(timeout, API error, context limit), the correct move is to **retry, or stop and
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add chrisgagne/grounded-forge/AGENTS.md@sha256:ed092d023ed60f33

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261005.cc63cb5, 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.
