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
# Compass Compass is the first navigation layer for codebase work. It builds and queries a local knowledge graph with native commands. Use the graph to find the smallest relevant source set, then verify important conclusions in the cited source. ## Invocation contract If the user invokes `/compass --help` or `/compass -h` without another request, run `compass --help`, return its current command summary, and stop. Otherwise: 1. Treat an explicit user command as authoritative. 2. If no path is supplied for a build or refresh, use `.`. 3. Run `compass <command> --help` before inventing options or relying on a remembered flag. 4. Use the installed native `compass` executable. Never substitute another product, a Python module, or an unsupported command. 5. Keep the user's requested graph, revision, output directory, and provider explicit throughout the workflow. Do not silently fall back to another one. 6. For editor or automation integrations, run `compass capabilities --format json` before assuming a machine contract. Reject an unknown contract major instead of guessing a compatible shape. …

How to install
mdr add crabbuild/compass/compass@sha256:4f2f9e65227230c0The line at the top of this page pins the label v1, 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.
