Checks primary official docs for versioned/external behavior: packages, SDKs, APIs, CLIs, cloud services, current behavior, API drift, setup/config, or high-stakes auth, security, billing, data, migration, deployment, compliance, or privacy. Not general external research (/ai-research) or questions the repo answers (/ai-explore).
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
# ai-read-docs — docs before memory Do not guess where authoritative docs can answer the question. The most common right move is to web-search for the current official docs, open the relevant pages, and read them before coding. For APIs, versions, provider behavior, config, limits, lifecycle hooks, or security-sensitive flows, ground the answer in what the docs actually say. Prefer local docs, specs, schemas, generated types, and tests for internal contracts. ## Docs-First Triggers Read docs before proceeding when any of these are true: - The user asks for "latest", "current", "official", "supported", "best practice", "recommended", "today", "now", or "look it up". - The needed docs are not already in the repo or supplied by the user. Search the web for the official docs rather than hoping model memory is current. - The task adds, upgrades, configures, or imports a package, SDK, framework, plugin, CLI, model, cloud resource, or provider integration. - The API is fast-moving or version-sensitive: AI SDKs, OpenAI/Anthropic/Google APIs, Next.js, React, Tailwind, Vite, Nitro, Drizzle, Prisma, Stripe, GitHub, …

How to install
mdr add arcasilesgroup/ai-engineering/ai-read-docs@sha256:df59f719e4768ebbThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261106.9932b24, 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.
