ARIA core — five-phase knowledge lifecycle (capture → govern → promote → apply → refresh), knowledge taxonomy, ideas backlog routing, project tier. Consulted whenever ARIA behavior is in question.

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

# ARIA Knowledge — Core

**Applied Reasoning and Insight Architecture**

An active knowledge and development discipline system for AI-assisted development. Built for developers and teams using Cursor who want each session to build on the last — capturing knowledge, enforcing structured decisions, and mapping codebases and tasks so context compounds instead of disappearing.

## The Problem

Every time an AI session ends, context disappears. Your insights, decisions, and corrections vanish into compacted conversation history. The next session starts from scratch — or worse, repeats the same mistakes you already corrected.

Over time, valuable knowledge accumulates in scattered places: AGENTS.md files, auto-memory, session plans, Slack threads, mental notes. Some of it contradicts other parts of it. None of it gets reviewed. The knowledge that matters most — the hard-won lessons from debugging, the architectural decisions made under pressure, the feedback you gave three sessions ago — has no durable home.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add mikeprasad/aria-knowledge/plugin-cursor-template/.cursor/rules/aria-core.mdc@sha256:cbb3181ce9c46bbd

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260524.3edfb70, 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.
