Coverage-aware agent workflow tool. Use PROACTIVELY to search and read code and Markdown docs — `ambits rg`/`ambits grep` find matches and name the symbol or section each lands in, `ambits show` fetches exactly that definition — and before modifying files, making architecture decisions, debugging, or reviewing code. Reports which symbols Claude has read (Seen%) vs read in full (Full%). Use MCP tools mcp__ambit__coverage or mcp__ambit__coverage_file when available; fall back to bash.

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

# /ambit - Coverage-Aware Agent Workflow

Ambit tracks which parts of a codebase this agent has actually read, at symbol
resolution. Use it to verify you have enough context before acting — and to
identify blind spots before making changes that touch unfamiliar code.

## PROACTIVE USE: When to Check Without Being Asked

**BEFORE modifying a file** — if you haven't verified you've read it this session:
```
mcp__ambit__coverage_file  →  check the specific file(s) you're about to change
```

**BEFORE architectural decisions** — if you're proposing design changes across
multiple files:
```
mcp__ambit__coverage  →  check overall module coverage; proceed only if Seen% > 60%
```

**When a bug is hard to reproduce or diagnose** — low coverage on the relevant
file is a likely root cause of bad recommendations:
```
mcp__ambit__coverage_file  →  if Full% < 50%, read the file before diagnosing
```

**After receiving a multi-file task** — check coverage of the involved files
before starting; flag which ones need reading first.

**When your suggestion might be wrong** — if a user pushes back, check coverage.
You may have missed implementation details.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add joshlong145/ambits/ambit@sha256:b5a62d2106cf4d3b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261020.4e94e9b, 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.
