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 - how to change this repo (human or agent) Short on purpose. The repo is one module, one test, one example. ## What this repo is A **contract**, not a library: the instruction a reviewer model receives and the parser that reads its reply, in one file, so they cannot drift apart. People copy `verdict_contract.py` into their own tooling and edit it. Clarity and honest failure modes are worth more here than features. ## Non-negotiables 1. **Stdlib only, Python 3.8+.** This file gets vendored into other people's CI. A dependency would have to be installed everywhere a review runs. 2. **One file holds both sides.** If you add a prompt rule, it goes in `PROMPT_RULE` next to the parser that enforces it. Never retype the rule into a caller - import it. Callers that retype it are how the contract fails silently. 3. **The asymmetry is not a bug.** Blocking wins from anywhere; approving requires the exact shape. A false block costs a re-read, a false approve ships a bug. Any change that makes APPROVE easier to reach needs to argue against that sentence. 4. **The strict layer never depends on fence detection.** It is undecidable on …

How to install
mdr add tonydzi/verdict-contract/AGENTS.md@sha256:2b0b5509e2d301d6The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260804.fa3260b, 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.
