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
# AGENTS.md This project uses Keep the Why (itself) to preserve the reasoning behind its own code. - Usage docs: see `docs/` (or https://keepthewhy.com) - Why things are the way they are: see `context/index.md` - If `AGENTS.local.md` exists in this checkout, read that too — personal/local notes, not committed. Read `context/index.md` before making non-trivial changes — naming, docs tooling, and repo structure have already been argued through once; check there before re-litigating or accidentally reverting a decision. Keep the Why's config for this project migrated to .keep-the-why on 2026-09-01 — requires skill version 0.10.0 or later to read it. ## Working conventions (no why needed, just follow these) - `CHANGELOG.md`: one `### Added` / `### Changed` / `### Fixed` heading per category under `[Unreleased]` — reuse an existing one instead of opening a new one for the same category. Entries within a category, alphabetically ordered by first word, not insertion order.

How to install
mdr add oliver-zehentleitner/keep-the-why/AGENTS.md@sha256:89b7d3900db8104aThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260901.b5992ad, 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.
