Use when reading or writing institutional memory — insights from successful solutions, fails from historical mistakes, and the Project Constitution that accumulates commandments and negative constraints across heists.
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 Ledger: Institutional Memory of the Gangsta Agents Family
## Overview
The Ledger is the Gangsta Agents Family's persistent memory. It stores successful reasoning pathways (Insights), documented failures (Fails), and accumulated governance rules (the Project Constitution). Every Heist reads from and writes to the Ledger.
## Directory Structure
The Ledger lives in the target project, NOT in the gangsta package:
```
docs/gangsta/
├── constitution.md # Project Constitution (living document)
├── insights/ # Repository of Insights (Good Catches)
│ └── YYYY-MM-DD-<topic>.md
└── fails/ # Repository of Fails (Concrete Shoes)
└── YYYY-MM-DD-<topic>.md
```
## Initializing the Ledger
If `docs/gangsta/` does not exist in the target project, create it:
```bash
mkdir -p docs/gangsta/insights docs/gangsta/fails
```
Create an initial `docs/gangsta/constitution.md`:
```markdown
# Project Constitution
## Commandments (from Insights)
_No commandments yet. They will be added as Heists produce insights._
## Negative Constraints (from Fails)
_No constraints yet. They will be added as Heists document failures._

How to install
mdr add kucherenko/gangsta/the-ledger@sha256:c2e5afb22ace19e6The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260419.30f5b92, 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.
