Complete co-founder playbook for technical founders — finding co-founders, equity splits (dynamic and static), co-founder agreements, vesting schedules, working relationships, conflict resolution, co-founder breakups, and the "dating before marrying" framework. Use when looking for a co-founder, structuring a founding team, negotiating equity, or navigating co-founder relationship challenges. Covers YC advice, First Round, and a16z resources.
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.

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.
