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

# shellflow Agent Instructions

## Non-negotiables

- Surgical edits only: every changed line must trace to the request. No drive-by refactors, no reformatting untouched code, no deleting pre-existing dead code (mention it instead).
- Fix root causes. Never silence a warning, weaken a check, or patch a symptom to make a gate pass.
- Never report completion while any `just` gate below fails. Report the failure verbatim and stop.
- Stop and ask when a request is ambiguous, conflicts with existing conventions, or requires credentials, publishing, or destructive operations.
- When a correction reveals a missing rule, add one specific rule here ("always X for Y", never "be careful with Y"); delete rules that never catch real errors.

## Scope

- `shellflow` is a shell-native, agentless automation CLI: it drives a plain Bash script whose blocks are delimited by `# @` comment directives, over the system `ssh`/`rsync`/`scp`/`bash`. Targets need only `bash`; there is no agent, no SSH library and no YAML.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add longcipher/shellflow/AGENTS.md@sha256:172814f5c7333711

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261028.8f64cec, 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.
