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

# Cercano Project Instructions

## Cercano Tool Preferences

This project exposes Cercano tools via MCP. **Prefer Cercano tools for bounded
research and extraction** to conserve main-chat context. Execution follows saved
task routing and redirects; a tool name does not guarantee local or free
inference. See [routing](docs/cloud-routing.md) and
[self-development guidance](docs/agent/self-dev.md).

- **Web research**: Use `cercano_research` instead of WebSearch/WebFetch when investigating a question. It searches DuckDuckGo, fetches pages, and returns a distilled answer — using the configured route.
- **URL fetching**: Use `cercano_fetch` instead of WebFetch for reading web pages. Returns extracted text without stuffing raw HTML into the cloud context.
- **Summarization**: Use `cercano_summarize` for large files, logs, or diffs before processing them yourself.
- **Code explanation**: Use `cercano_explain` to understand unfamiliar code before bringing a summary into the main context.
- **Information extraction**: Use `cercano_extract` to pull specific info from large text instead of reading it all into context.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add cercano-ai/cercano/AGENTS.md@sha256:e231d6727a3a136b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261023.295d5be, 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.
