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

Instructions for any coding agent (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini, Kiro, OpenCode, ...)
working on this repository. For how to USE deliberation as an MCP server, read
[docs/tool-guide.md](docs/tool-guide.md) instead.

## What this repo is

deliberation gives a host agent GPT (Codex CLI), Gemini 3 (Antigravity CLI `agy`), Grok
(xAI API) and OpenRouter models as expert reviewers over MCP. It ships as a Claude Code
plugin, as native plugins/skills for other hosts, and as one standalone MCP server
(`@antonbabenko/deliberation-mcp`). Eight expert personas live in `prompts/`. Every provider
is advisory except Gemini, which can also implement (`workspace-write`).

Plain Node (18+; CI runs 20), no runtime dependencies, no build step for development. `core/` is
host-neutral and strict-typed (`checkJs`); `server/mcp/` is the MCP server over it;
`server/{gemini,grok,openrouter}/` are the provider bridges; `server/dashboard/` is the
local read-only dashboard.

## Commands

```bash
npm run check                 # typecheck + every test suite; must pass before any PR
npm run test:contracts        # hermetic multi-host contract suite
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add antonbabenko/deliberation/AGENTS.md@sha256:5de8dc25fd7d2990

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261027.bb6611e, 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.
