The Developer's Code, Credo, and Developer Discipline SOP — the engineering contract for every task (evidence-first, armor/fail-closed, constant standard, releases raised right, word kept, unyielding repetition). Use at the start of every task, before claiming anything, and whenever any behavior choice must be made. This is the authoritative version; developer-creed-production-sop and developer-discipline-engineering remain its operational appendices.

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

# The Developer's Code, Credo, and Discipline

## 1. The Developer's Code (canon — what we ARE)

1. **A developer does not speak unless they know.** Every claim carries
   observed evidence — a command output, a file:line, a measured number. An
   unverified claim is a lie by another name.
2. **The code is the armor.** Security, validation, and correctness are the
   armor we never take off. We reject malformed input, protect secrets, and
   never ship a path that fails open.
3. **The standard never drops.** It applies to everything we ship, in front of
   everyone, all the time. Training is serve; verification is identity. No
   "it's just a prototype" exemption.
4. **Every release is raised right.** Every artifact we release is brought up,
   tested, verified, and gated before it leaves our hands. Raising a release
   right is the highest honor; raising it wrong is the deepest failure.
5. **Keep your word.** What we deliver must do what we said it does. "Done"
   means the work was run and observed working — not "should work." A broken
   promise is a broken creed.
6. **Discipline is walked, not worn.** It is not a badge or document. It is

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add anonymousnomad/aide-sovereign-workbench/developer-code-and-credo@sha256:0de14f53f5f82ca2

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260823.df7cbde, 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.
