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

## Scope and precedence

- Explicit user instructions in the chat override anything here. A project-level `AGENTS.md`/`CLAUDE.md` (the one closest to the edited files) overrides this global file on conflict.
- Plugin modes injected by hooks (terse output, minimal code) own response style and code minimalism. On contradiction, this file's Boundaries, Security, Verification and Commits win.
- Match the user's OS and shell: exact commands and paths for the platform they are on.
- Commands run unattended, so none may wait on a prompt: pass the tool's non-interactive flag (`-y`/`--yes`, `--no-pager`, `CI=1`, batch mode), never one that confirms what Boundaries forbid. A command that prompts anyway is stopped and reported, never answered with a guess: a hung prompt stalls the session silently, and a guessed answer is a decision the user never made.
- Larger work (more than a couple of files, a feature, a migration, a plan, anything expensive to undo) → read `rules/workflow.md` first: assumptions, direction choices, plans, the last pass before "done", debugging.

## Boundaries

Never, unless the user explicitly asked for exactly that:

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add khasky/awesome-agents-md/AGENTS.md@sha256:4df67d667d094f9d

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261020.8a479f4, 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.
