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

# Development

Tend is an autonomous CI maintainer for GitHub repos: it reviews PRs, triages
issues, and fixes CI, powered by Claude or Codex. This repo ships the generator
(`uvx tend@latest`) that stamps each consumer's workflow files, plus the plugins
and composite actions those workflows run.

No backward compatibility. When a config format or API changes, cut over
completely — old formats should fail with a clear error, not silently parse.

Simplicity outranks efficiency. Complexity earns its place by preventing
wrong outward actions — what the bot posts, approves, merges, or closes —
rather than by saving compute. Prefer deleting a mechanism over refining it.
"What waste is worth fixing" below says which waste earns a change.

## Commands

```bash
wt test                                # Python, worker tests/typecheck, eval capture tests
uv run pytest                          # the Python half alone, from the repo root
uvx tend@latest init                   # regenerate workflows from .config/tend.yaml
uvx tend@latest init --dry-run         # preview without writing
uvx tend@latest check                  # verify branch protection, secrets, bot access

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add max-sixty/tend/AGENTS.md@sha256:21b0988c282245df

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261019.13856fe, 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.
