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
## Repository Guidelines This document summarizes how to work with the cognee repository: how it’s organized, how to build, test, lint, and contribute. It mirrors our actual tooling and CI while providing quick commands for local development. ## Design Principles 1. **Don't overengineer**: Simple beats complex. 2. **No fallbacks**: One correct path, no alternatives. 3. **One way**: One way to do things, not many. 4. **Throw errors**: Fail fast when the operation's preconditions aren't met. Observability (telemetry, logging) is best-effort and never changes the outcome of the operation. 5. **No backups**: Trust the primary mechanism. 6. **Separation of concerns**: Each function has a single responsibility. 7. **Be concise but informative**: No essays, but the docstrings and comments a reader needs. …

How to install
mdr add topoteretes/cognee/AGENTS.md@sha256:10637b64b1c64016The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261020.1c3c68c, 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.
