Agentic engineering delegation model, risk classification, task decomposition, and worktree lifecycle. Core rules for when to act directly vs. spawn Workers and Skeptics.
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
> **CURSOR ADAPTER - READ FIRST. These Cursor-specific directives OVERRIDE every conflicting delegation, spawn, Skeptic, worktree, and "MUST"-mandate instruction in the rest of this document whenever you are running inside Cursor.** Cursor has no Agent / Task / subagent / background-spawn tool, so the multi-agent model described below cannot execute and must not be simulated. > > - **You are conductor AND implementer.** Do the work yourself, inline. Never narrate what a "Worker" or "Skeptic" would do, and never spawn or pretend to spawn one. > - **Self-review replaces the Skeptic.** After implementing, re-read your own diff for logic errors, edge cases, and side effects before declaring done. That is the entire review step in Cursor. > - **Do not pre-load reference files.** Ignore "read on trigger" instructions unless the current task directly needs that file. Reading them all is the main cause of runaway context cost in Cursor. > - **Worktree / isolation / background steps are no-ops.** Any instruction involving git worktrees, `isolation: "worktree"`, `run_in_background`, or Agent-tool parameters does not apply in Cursor; skip it. …

How to install
mdr add space-dinosaurs/dinostack/.cursor/rules/agent-methodology.mdc@sha256:d3835aa938216b33The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261013.bdf62bb, 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.
