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
# AGENTS.md Guidance for AI agents (and people) working in this repository. ## What this is **dovetail** - a repository coherence checker for AI coding agents. It follows the [Agent Skills](https://agentskills.io) layout (`skills/<name>/SKILL.md`) and ships as a [Claude Code plugin](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/plugins). ## Layout ``` .claude-plugin/plugin.json # plugin manifest skills/dovetail/SKILL.md # the skill: the conversation rules and the verbs it calls skills/dovetail/scripts/ # python, standard library only; dovetail.py drives a run skills/dovetail/references/ # the finding contract and one rubric per reviewer skills/dovetail/ci/ # workflow templates users copy into their own repo skills/dovetail/tests/ # offline, no model calls install.sh / install-codex.sh # local symlink installers (Claude / Codex) docs/design-notes.md # why the tool is shaped this way ``` ### The three layers **Layer 1, deterministic** - [`scan.py`](skills/dovetail/scripts/scan.py) runs the graph queries, the exact checks, the convention checks, the git-history signals and any repo-local plugins. Seconds, no model, no network. …

How to install
mdr add dbhq-uk/dovetail-skill/AGENTS.md@sha256:7e44c14ff811da5eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260925.1e8bb55, 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.
