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

# Ketch — Design & Philosophy

This document explains **why** ketch is built the way it is: the mental model,
the core abstractions, and the reasoning behind the choices you'll see in the
code. It is the companion to [`AGENTS.md`](../AGENTS.md), which describes *what*
each package is and *where* it lives. Read this when you want to understand
intent — before proposing a change, adding a backend, or extending a command —
so your contribution pulls in the same direction as the rest of the codebase.

For the boundaries that keep ketch focused, jump to [Non-Goals & Scope](#non-goals--scope).
For where things might go next, see [`ROADMAP.md`](./ROADMAP.md).

## The one-sentence mental model

**Ketch is a stateless translator: it turns a URL or a query into clean,
predictable text, and then it exits.**

Everything else follows from taking that sentence literally. There is no server
to keep alive, no session to resume, no state to reconcile between calls. A
single invocation does one job and returns one result. If you find yourself
reaching for something that outlives a single process — a connection pool that

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add 1broseidon/ketch/design/DESIGN.md@sha256:70d2e29577924ebf

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260907.e8cdb9d, 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.
