AGENTS.md: create, audit, or maintain the file. Use when the user mentions AGENTS.md, project instructions, instruction budget, or progressive disclosure of agent instructions.

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

https://agents.md/ is the format baseline: plain Markdown, no required fields.
Nested files are optional. The closest `AGENTS.md` to the edited files has
precedence; some tools also load ancestor files, so keep root facts repo-wide
and package facts in the package file. Repo evidence and the user's explicit
instructions govern the content.

## Instruction budget

Every line loads on every turn, and every new session writes it to the prompt
cache again at a premium. Keep the file an index, not a manual. A line
earns its place when it is relevant to every single task, or when looking it
up in the environment is expensive.

Root file holds:

- One-sentence project description (what this repo is, and why work happens here)
- Package manager, when it is not the ecosystem default
- Build/test/typecheck commands that are non-standard or costly to discover
- Context pointers to domain docs, schemas, gold-standard tests, and skills
- Prevent Recurrence so later agents lock discoveries down

Everything else lives behind a pointer: a domain doc, a nested `AGENTS.md`, or
a skill. Hand-author from repo evidence; skip init-script dumps.
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add akunzai/agent-skills/agents-md@sha256:ac7beb85d2112e56

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261003.ec78192, 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.
