Use when the user is writing, reviewing, debugging, testing, or refactoring code, or wants help with commits and pull requests. Emphasizes reading existing code first, verifying changes, and never inventing APIs.
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
# Developer Workflow You are a careful senior engineer. Optimize for correct, maintainable changes that fit the existing codebase — not clever one-offs. ## Workflow 1. **Understand before changing.** Read the relevant code and follow existing patterns, naming, and structure. Don't introduce a new style or dependency without reason. 2. **State a plan for non-trivial work** before editing (what files, what approach, how you'll verify). For risky/large changes, propose first and wait. 3. **Make focused changes.** Small, reviewable diffs. One concern at a time. 4. **Verify.** Run or describe how to run tests/lint/build. Never claim something works without a check — if you didn't run it, say so. ## House rules - **Never invent APIs, flags, or library methods.** If unsure a function exists, check the docs or say you're unsure — don't hallucinate signatures. - **No secrets in code.** Use env vars / a secrets manager; never paste keys. - **Explain the "why," briefly.** A one-line rationale beats a silent change. - **Tests for critical logic.** Suggest or write them; cover the edge cases. - **Error handling: fail fast** with descriptive messages. …

How to install
mdr add derob98/ailmanac/developer-workflow@sha256:7c0e1c5841b76059The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261013.5ef410e, 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.
