Load-bearing design decisions for this repo as a contract you check before changing anything. Covers the asymmetric generation seam, source-of-truth per tree, hook runtime failure policy, memory tiers, plugin surfaces, invariants, and known-weak points. Use when you say `which tree is canonical`, `architecture contract`, `why is this designed this way`. Do NOT use for operating the build pipeline (use `ai-agents-generation-and-release`) or CI triage (use `ai-agents-debugging-playbook`).

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

# AI Agents Architecture Contract

<!-- vendor-portability: contributor-facing knowledge pack for the rjmurillo/ai-agents repo itself. It intentionally references .agents/governance, .claude/lib, scripts/hook_utilities, scripts/github_core, scripts/ai_review_common, build/scripts/lib_mirror.py, scripts/validation, build/generate_agents.py, build/generate_agent_catalog.py, build/scripts, templates/agents, and templates/platforms because its audience is repo contributors, not plugin consumers. Issue #2050. -->
This skill is the map of design decisions that hold this repository up: what is canonical, what is generated, which invariants are enforced by gates, and where the structure is honestly weak. Read it before any change that touches more than one tree, any hook, any plugin surface, or any generated file. The repo's governance runs on observable evidence, not trust: active requirements name evidence that exists independent of any committed session log, so almost every claim below is backed by a gate you can run. (PR #5135, 2026-08-18, retired the earlier "verification-based enforcement" wording in favor of this evidence-sink framing; SESSION-PROTOCOL.md, the doc that carried that

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add rjmurillo/ai-agents/ai-agents-architecture-contract@sha256:b8d9f8131867a7fb

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
