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
# Working in this repository The shared contract for every coding agent in every tale-project repository. Read it, then read [`.agents/repo.md`](.agents/repo.md) — the repo-specific contract — before your first change. Repositories are Bun workspaces (with Turborepo where there is more than one workspace); a workspace script runs through `bun run --filter <workspace> <script>`. ## Read the repo contract next [`.agents/repo.md`](.agents/repo.md) is the per-repo file: layout, stack, domain rules, extra gates, and the debt ledger. This shared file never carries repo facts — if a fact is specific to one repository, it belongs there. When the two seem to disagree, the repo contract wins. ## How to work The biggest quality lever is deciding well, not typing fast. Work in this order: 1. **Classify the task** and follow its discipline end-to-end: a defect (find the root cause, lock it with a regression test); structure-not-behaviour (refactor without changing behaviour); new behaviour (a feature, screen, endpoint, or flag); a review (an adversarial read before merge). Exploring is read-only and returns the conclusion; a migration is phased and reversible, each …

How to install
mdr add tale-project/tale/AGENTS.md@sha256:7117f5d8b3315f49The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261030.aaa6dde, 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.
