AGENTS.md agentsA

AGENTS.md is agent-read markdown (agents) from ultralytics/skills.

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# AGENTS.md

Repository guidance for coding agents. `CLAUDE.md` is a symlink to this file.

## Core Principles (CRITICAL)

**Less is more. The simplest solution is the best solution.** The action hierarchy for every change: **Delete > Replace > Add**.

1. **Solve at the owner**: Put behavior in the code path that owns or observes it. For fixes, never guard a symptom with a staleness check, initialization flag, skip-first-call branch, or `try/except` around broken logic; relocate the trigger and delete the wrong path. For features, extend the existing owner rather than creating a parallel abstraction.
2. **Search and reuse first**: Search the whole repository before creating a feature, component, helper, workflow, or utility. Reuse or adapt what exists, consolidate in-scope duplication in the shared owner, and delete duplicate paths. Three similar lines beat a helper nobody else calls.
3. **Delete and modify existing code before creating new code**: Bugfixes are net-negative by default unless deletion and relocation are demonstrably impossible. A new file must first prove it cannot fit cleanly in an existing owner.

How to install

Latest version
mdr add ultralytics/skills/AGENTS.md@git:20260911.983f6a2
Exact content
mdr add ultralytics/skills/AGENTS.md@sha256:f1c12f29ed01842b

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
