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 — Anvil-Plan-Spec (APS) Collaboration Rules

This repo defines the Anvil Plan Spec format — templates, prompts, and examples
for planning and task authorisation in AI-assisted development.

## What this repo is

APS is a **specification format with optional executable tooling**. It contains:

- Templates for plans, modules, work items, action plans, and **design documents**
- Prompts for AI agents
- Examples and documentation
- A native Rust CLI/TUI plus maintained bash and PowerShell implementations
- Optional MCP transport, installers, hooks, and generated agent assets

Start with [CONTEXT.md](CONTEXT.md) for the source map and
[docs/architecture.md](docs/architecture.md) for boundaries and decisions.
Do not treat historical designs or example work items as new authority.

## Execution authority

- **Specs describe intent.**
- **Tasks authorise execution.**
- If there is no task, do not implement changes unless explicitly instructed.

## Rules for AI contributing to this repo

When modifying templates, prompts, or documentation:

- **Keep templates minimal** — avoid over-prescription
- **Maintain consistency** — field names, structure, and terminology
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add eddacraft/anvil-plan-spec/AGENTS.md@sha256:500de2b1e3f405a4

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260930.30ba4e6, 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.
