Use when the user wants to share or back up learned instincts — validates the local instincts file, allowlists the six known fields, strips secrets and home-directory paths, and writes a sanitized JSON artifact the user names. Never modifies the instincts file itself.
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
# instinct-export — sanitize and share learned instincts Concept inspired by the instinct/skill-create ideas in affaan-m/ECC; no code copied. Instincts are small learned behaviours stored locally under `~/.aos/instincts/instincts.json` (format defined in `/instinct-status`). Exporting one means making it portable — into version control, a teammate's machine, a dotfile repo. That is exactly where leaks happen, so sanitization is the job, not a nicety. ## 1. Read and validate the source Read `~/.aos/instincts/instincts.json`. If it is missing, the file is not silently treated as empty: report that there is nothing to export and stop. If the JSON does not parse, fail loudly with the parse error — never export garbage "with best effort". **Shared bounds, same as on the import side:** `trigger` and `action` must be JSON strings ≤ 200 / ≤ 400 characters, no newlines or control characters; at most 200 instinct entries. A store that fails these bounds is corrupt, not exportable — fail loudly with the reason the same way as the parse-error path above, never ship an artifact `/instinct-import` would reject wholesale. …

How to install
mdr add hybridlabor-api/aos/instinct-export@sha256:c177f3648ef34c17The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261007.b0fb721, 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.
