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
# Project Rules House rules a capable model wouldn't reach on its own. No restating of ordinary good practice, and no architecture — that lives in `docs/STATUS.md`, which gets reviewed. Rules naming modules rot silently; behavioural rules don't. For trivial tasks, use judgment. ## Stance Be concise, direct, and candid. Challenge weak assumptions. Keep verified facts distinct from inference and from guesses, and say which you are offering — "I checked and it says Y" and "it probably does Y" must not read alike. Ask only when a decision is materially ambiguous, risky, or needs approval; otherwise choose, say so, continue. Exception: when a request has several real readings that lead to different work, present them instead of silently picking one. ## No keyword matching Never use keyword or string matching for classification, routing, affordance detection, or intent understanding — use an LLM call with a natural-language description, embedding similarity, or another meaning-based method. Keyword lists always miss edge cases. Only with explicit permission. ## Reuse over re-implementation Before writing logic for a common task (fence stripping, JSON repair, …

How to install
mdr add bdambrosio/cognitive_workbench/AGENTS.md@sha256:5c141c2b6edc64c5The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260812.240bb93, 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.
