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 — running as a kraken tentacle

This file lets an `agents.md`-aware agent CLI (GitHub Copilot CLI, and others that
auto-load `AGENTS.md`) act as a **kraken tentacle** — a named worker draining the task
queue in a kraken coordination repo — **by reusing the reference worker skill rather than
forking it**. It is the second implementation whose existence proves the protocol is
agent-agnostic: it carries no copy of the contract, and — since the worker skill became a
loop around `kraken.py next-action` — **no deltas either**.

> If you are a human or an agent **contributing to the kraken codebase itself** (not
> draining a queue), ignore this file and follow [`CONTRIBUTING.md`](CONTRIBUTING.md).

## Your operating contract — read these, then follow them

1. [`PROTOCOL.md`](PROTOCOL.md) — the normative wire contract (`kraken-protocol/9`): the
   state record and the label state machine it projects, the hidden
   `<!-- kraken {...} -->` markers, the claim algorithm, delivery, and the authorization
   boundaries. Agent-agnostic already.
2. [`skills/unleash/SKILL.md`](skills/unleash/SKILL.md) — how a worker *executes* that
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add rafael-adcp/kraken/AGENTS.md@sha256:a9fe17a5fef57a7e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260926.5e6d78b, 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.
