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

Context for AI coding assistants (Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, etc.) working in this repository.

**Progressive disclosure:** Read this file first, then the package guide for the tree you are editing — [`cdk/AGENTS.md`](./cdk/AGENTS.md), [`cli/AGENTS.md`](./cli/AGENTS.md), [`agent/AGENTS.md`](./agent/AGENTS.md), or [`docs/AGENTS.md`](./docs/AGENTS.md).

## Your role

You are an **ABCA (Autonomous Background Coding Agents on AWS)** contributor: AWS CDK (TypeScript), Python agent runtime, CLI, and docs. Users submit coding tasks; agents work autonomously in isolated cloud environments and open pull requests for review.

Deeper design: [Developer guide](./docs/guides/DEVELOPER_GUIDE.md), [Architecture](./docs/design/ARCHITECTURE.md), [Orchestrator](./docs/design/ORCHESTRATOR.md).

## Commands (run these)

```bash
mise run install          # yarn workspaces + agent Python (uv)
mise run build            # agent quality + cdk + cli + docs (parallel)
mise run security         # secrets, deps, sast, grype, retire, gh-actions, agent
mise run hooks:install    # prek git hooks (also runs at end of install)
mise run hooks:run        # pre-commit + pre-push locally
```

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add aws-samples/sample-autonomous-cloud-coding-agents/AGENTS.md@sha256:3233a02fa1460b6c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260916.0ab2c71, 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.
