Use when a project's conventions need to be written down or extended: starting a codebase from scratch, settling how one tier uses its framework, capturing a design decision that was just made, or turning unwritten patterns in an existing repo into rules. Produces or grows an AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md. Any language or stack.
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
# Project conventions **A convention document is the set of decisions a fresh agent would otherwise guess differently every time**, as short checkable rules in the repo's `AGENTS.md` (or `CLAUDE.md`, whichever the repo uses; `AGENTS.md` if neither). ## What earns a rule **All five hold, or the candidate is dropped, naming the one that fails.** 1. **Contested**: a competent developer could defensibly do it the other way. 2. **Recurring**: a one-off belongs in a code comment. 3. **Consequential**: breaking it costs rework or silent drift. 4. **Checkable**: a reviewer can point at a line and say yes or no. 5. **Not tool-enforceable**: what a linter, formatter or type checker can enforce is configured there. **Never a rule**: formatting, casing, import order, line length; a restated general principle; an aspiration with no test; code that does not exist yet. ## Rule shape ``` N. **MUST <imperative>.** <the cost of not doing it, or where it lives.> <optional: one path or symbol.> ``` - **Two or three sentences, under 50 words.** MUST for invariants, SHOULD for strong defaults. - **The real symbol, path or command**, never a paraphrase of the idea. …

How to install
mdr add ovich/swarmstorm/write-conventions@sha256:bbe6ed2de1225fceThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261007.75cb045, 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.
