Audit any repo against the agentic-quality doctrine; create, audit, upgrade or org-survey its AGENTS.md. Triggers on: repo doctor, repo audit, agentic quality, agent-friendly, write AGENTS.md, audit AGENTS.md, upgrade AGENTS.md, AGENTS.md not loading, CLAUDE.md shadows AGENTS.md, AGENTS.md org survey, stale AGENTS.md, monorepo structure, nested AGENTS.md, ARCHITECTURE.md, which instructions load.

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

# Repo Doctor

Scores a repository against the **agentic-quality doctrine** (the cross-repo standard
in [rules/agentic-quality.md](../../rules/agentic-quality.md) for code, comments, docs
and structure a cold agent session can navigate), and owns the **AGENTS.md protocol**:
creating, auditing, upgrading and org-surveying a repo's entry doc.

Read-only by default. The scorer, the scan, the audit, `explain` and the survey never
write. The only writing step is `agents-md.py scaffold --write` (root, `--dir` or
`--architecture`), which **creates** the file and refuses to overwrite one (there is
deliberately no `--force`).

## AGENTS.md: create, audit, upgrade, survey

The protocol (what goes in, what stays out, the 150/200-line and 12,000/16,000-character
budget and how to split, CLAUDE.md shadowing, staleness in commits) is
[references/agents-md-protocol.md](references/agents-md-protocol.md). Read it before
writing or judging an entry doc. The load-bearing fact: **Claude Code reads AGENTS.md
only when no `CLAUDE.md`, `.claude/CLAUDE.md` or `CLAUDE.local.md` sits in the working
directory or above it**, unless that CLAUDE.md imports `@AGENTS.md`.

```bash

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add 0xdarkmatter/claude-mods/repo-doctor@sha256:5775b31a909aafe4

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261007.4dd3818, 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.
