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

The hub repo of a four-repo project: MCP configs and setup tooling for civic open data (NYC Open Data via Socrata, Google
Data Commons), the Typed Standards Specification and its ADRs, the source of truth for shared skill guidance, and the
`publish-record` skill. npm workspaces (two packages, `packages/civic-typed-harness` and `packages/civic-typed-router`)
alongside Python examples. Cursor and Codex read this file natively; `CLAUDE.md` is a one-line bridge to it.

## Boundaries

**This repo is public.** Strategic and relationship context — named external stakeholders, prospective collaborators,
pre-meeting strategy, private outreach plans, named individuals' opinions — lives in local-only planning docs, never here.
Use neutral phrasing ("an external stakeholder", "an upcoming demo") wherever output lands in this repo; if a prompt you
received carries strategic context, scrub it first.

**Never push to `main`,** and never bypass a git hook or the pre-push sensitivity guard. The guard scans the added lines
of *each outgoing commit*, not the net diff, so a fix commit on top never clears it — rebuild the branch history.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add npstorey/civic-ai-tools/AGENTS.md@sha256:f69c62008e5dc94e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261106.0a87a9b, 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.
