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 — design/

Internal design records — the "why" behind decisions in this repo and its libraries. This is the Diátaxis **explanation** quadrant: architecture rationale, tradeoffs, and alternatives considered.

## Two kinds of document

### Design docs

Living documents that describe how a concept or subsystem works **right now**. Named by topic: `state.md`, `mcp.md`, `visuals.md`. These are the primary entry point — a contributor looking for "how does state work" should open one file and get the full picture.

Design docs get updated as the implementation evolves. They always reflect the current reality.

### RFCs

Point-in-time decision records for significant changes. Named with an `rfc-` prefix: `rfc-state-v2-sync-protocol.md`. These capture why a specific change was made and what alternatives were considered. They do not get updated after the decision — they are snapshots.

RFCs are never deleted, even after rejection. Rejected RFCs are valuable — they prevent re-litigating the same idea later.

## Workflow

```
1. Propose:  write rfc-<name>.md (status: proposed)
2. Decide:   update status to accepted or rejected

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add pertamaxxx/agents/design/AGENTS.md@sha256:4a561cf265f9a796

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260305.b5238de, 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.
