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

# Agent notes — kenji

## Architecture in one breath

This repo **is** the playbook pack: skills + slash commands + agents +
rules. `npx @kensaurus/skills --all` installs Cursor, Claude
Code, Codex CLI, and Gemini CLI; a bare `npx` stays Cursor-only.
`npx skills add` is skills-only.
Default install merges; `--clean` is opt-in. Descriptions cap at 320
chars. Do not submit the Official MCP Registry — we ship templates, not
a server.

**Model story.** One model, routed by effort: deep-reasoning families
declare `effort: high`, mechanical ones `effort: low`, implementation
inherits the default (ADR-0006). There is no "strong planner / fast
executor" split; approved plans run under `approved-plan-execution.mdc`
(ADR-0007). Every description without `disable-model-invocation: true`
rides Claude Code's skill listing; `validate-skills` measures it the way the
client does and fails above `LISTING_MAX_CHARS` (ADR-0010), and commands are
`/`-only while skills keep the auto-route (ADR-0008).
Reasoning depth is effort, never a reasoning MCP server (ADR-0009). Model
and host version facts live in the ADRs, not here.

`docs/AGENTS.template.md` is the constitution **copied into other
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add kensaurus/skills/AGENTS.md@sha256:1600199606af37d5

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261001.3fce9fb, 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.
