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

# CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

## ⛔ CRITICAL SAFETY RULES

1. **NEVER merge PRs without explicit user permission** — If unsure whether to merge, the answer is NO
2. **NEVER close PRs without explicit user permission** — Only fix conflicts, push changes, create PRs
3. **NEVER delete branches on remote without explicit user permission**
4. **Ask before any destructive action** — When in doubt, ask the user

## Karpathy Coding Rules

Four rules for all agents and code generation. Non-negotiable.

### 1. Think Before Coding
- State assumptions explicitly. If uncertain, ask.
- Multiple interpretations? Present them, don't pick silently.
- Simpler approach exists? Say so. Push back when warranted.
- Something unclear? Stop. Name what's confusing. Ask.

### 2. Simplicity First
- No features beyond what was asked.
- No abstractions for single-use code.
- No speculative "flexibility" or "configurability".
- 200 lines that could be 50? Rewrite.
- Test: "Would a senior engineer say this is overcomplicated?"

### 3. Surgical Changes
- Don't "improve" adjacent code, comments, or formatting.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add tzachbon/smart-ralph/CLAUDE.md@sha256:c3b3923005344469

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260303.2b6de9b, 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.
