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 — working in the expectation-fit repo

Guidance for any AI agent (or human) contributing to this repository. Read this
before editing. `CLAUDE.md` points here; this is the single source of truth for how
the repo is laid out and the rules that keep the plugin installable and internally
consistent.

> This repo *develops* the **expectation-fit** Claude Code plugin. The plugin's
> own end-user docs live in [`plugins/expectation-fit/README.md`](plugins/expectation-fit/README.md);
> the design lives in `PLAN.md`, current state in `STATUS.md`, and change history in `CHANGELOG.md`.

## What this repo is

A Claude Code **plugin** that enforces *expectation fit*: software that behaves the
way a reasonable developer or user already expects. It applies established design
principles as review **lenses** (parallel sub-agents) across four contexts — planning,
plan validation, code review, codebase audit — producing scored, deduplicated,
confidence-gated findings with concrete fixes.

The plugin is **data + prompts, not executable code.** Skills and agents are markdown
that the model follows; the knowledge base and contract files are markdown/JSON/YAML.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add davidteren/intent-engineering/AGENTS.md@sha256:8d9b1f374a07841b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261009.55f76ee, 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.
