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

# Working on Northstar

Northstar packages six coordinated skills: Northstar, Codex QA, Codex Subagents, Codex Advisor, Claude Code Subagents and Task Completion Review. Keep engineering judgment, practices, and useful documentation at the center of changes.

## Start here

1. Read [project direction](docs/northstar/README.md).
2. Read the relevant [goal](docs/goal/README.md), its [worker reports](docs/reports/README.md), and [evaluations](docs/evals/README.md).
3. Read the central skill and relevant companion skill: [Northstar](skills/northstar/SKILL.md), [Codex QA](skills/codex-qa/SKILL.md), [Codex Subagents](skills/codex-subagents/SKILL.md), [Codex Advisor](skills/codex-advisor/SKILL.md), [Claude Code Subagents](skills/claude-code-subagents/SKILL.md), or [Task Completion Review](skills/task-completion-review/SKILL.md).

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add stancsz/northstar/AGENTS.md@sha256:9bc44abcda7d5245

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261022.38b6bad, 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.
