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

# Chat subproject — coding conventions

This file scopes conventions specific to `src/chat/` (the chat-mode ReAct
loop, active-recall subagent, and per-turn evaluator). Repo-wide rules are
in the root `CLAUDE.md`.

## ReAct tool-observation convention

Every observation string emitted by a chat ReAct tool **must** start with one of three prefixes so the LLM can discriminate success from failure without keyword-spotting:

- `OK: <content>` — tool succeeded; content follows
- `EMPTY: <reason>` — tool ran cleanly but produced no usable result (no search hits, remember found nothing, empty argument, etc.)
- `ERROR: <reason>` — tool failed (unavailable, raised an exception, returned a malformed result, rejected its arguments). Treat as "this tool is currently broken — do not retry the same call."

Why prose-prefix rather than structured returns: the consumer is an LLM, not a state machine. As long as the prefix is unambiguous, the LLM handles discrimination semantically without code-side typing. Structured returns (à la `_create_uniform_return` in the planner) buy nothing here while costing every tool author a wrapper.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add bdambrosio/cognitive_workbench/src/chat/CLAUDE.md@sha256:f92e16a68e004e69

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260808.ed736cd, 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.
