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 Agent Guidance

## Private and generated artifacts

This is a public open-source repository. Its working directory holds only this
repository's own source, tests, docs, and configuration. Anything generated for
the user rather than for the repo, along with its supporting files (builders,
renders, previews, inspection files, dependency links), goes in a per-run
temporary directory outside the working directory, and final artifacts go only
to an explicitly approved external or private destination.

The root `outputs/` directory remains ignored as a privacy safeguard for older
Codex Desktop and similar tooling that may write generated artifacts there. It
is not part of the current workflow or an approved storage location.

Before staging or committing, inspect all untracked paths and confirm that no
personal or business artifacts are present.

## Working artifacts

Keep plans, brainstorms, ideation, raw dogfood notes, and point-in-time reports
in the ignored working paths named in `.gitignore`. They may live for the life
of a worktree, but the final pull request and default branch must not contain
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jrgilbertson/the-rookery/AGENTS.md@sha256:4fd56b175bcc3570

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260925.46ead95, 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.
