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

# Core Pack — Design Document

Living design reference for the core pack. Records the philosophy, architecture, invariants, and key decisions so the reasoning survives beyond individual PRs and applies when extending or replacing any skill.

---

## TL;DR

`work-loop` is a supervised coding loop that replaces agent self-assessment with verifiable termination criteria. It runs in a fixed shape — plan → execute → gates → review → decide — and cannot exit without two human approvals: plan sign-off before a line is written, and PR merge after adversarial review is clean. Risk (not file count) determines mode; the adversarial reviewer always runs cold with no build memory; parallel writes are gated by default; spec drift is resolved in the PR, not after it.

`shaping-reviewer` is a separate pre-construction contract check owned by the caller. It does not join the later code-review lenses: adversarial review checks delivery drift, security review checks threats, and quality review checks maintainability.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add eugenelim/agent-ready-repo/packs/core/DESIGN.md@sha256:824cc8a4aa386eeb

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261104.88c952f, 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.
