Doctrine (kernel §3.8) — when an operation will recur across independent sessions, the unit of work is a durable, tested, cataloged tool, not a throwaway script. Defines what counts as a durable tool, what stays disposable, the procedure sibling (a project skill), and the fail-closed rule that a task is incomplete until a durable tool is cataloged or recorded absent. authoring a tool is agent.tool-smith; cataloging one happens inside the single canonize close-out spawn. This node is the rule…

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

# toolcraft — the durable-tool doctrine

This node owns **the toolcraft rule** (kernel §3.8): durable tools
compound; throwaway scripts are rework. When an operation will recur
across independent sessions (or has already recurred inside one), the
unit of work is a **durable, tested tool** with a stable interface,
designed so at plan time, named in `tools_built` on every handback, and
cataloged in `docs/graph/tools/` by the librarian inside the close-out
spawn. Genuine one-offs and throwaway prototypes stay disposable. A task
completes only under the fail-closed rule below.

Work generates capabilities, not only knowledge. A task needs an
operation performed (seed a fixture, migrate a schema, probe an
endpoint, regenerate a client), and an agent writes code to do it. If
that code dies with the session, the next task that needs the same
operation writes it again, slightly differently, with a fresh chance to
get it wrong. Toolcraft is the doctrine that keeps a capability once it
is worth keeping.

This node is the rule; authoring and cataloging are separate, because
they happen at different times and are done by different actors:

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add llopresto87/cypress/toolcraft@sha256:9b885b7ed0d09202

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.eff8d56, 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.
