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

# <CREW_NAME> standing rules

The controller's own file. Scope instructions: every thread in the crew reads it. Each
rule that came from the owner keeps the date and the exact words, so lanes can cite it as
a standing approval instead of asking again. Append; never rewrite an owner's words.

## Mandate (<owner>, <date>)
"<the owner's words for what this crew is for>"

- Every <code prefix>-* thread in <project> is in the crew. New threads the owner starts
  are added too.
- Watch <REPO> issues and PRs. Start lanes for severe user-reported bugs no live thread
  has claimed (the severity bar is below).
- Severity first: S1 is a broken install or upgrade, data loss, a security result that is
  wrong, or `BASE` red. S2 is a broken workflow with no workaround. Everything else is
  batched.

## Merging (<owner>, <date>: "<words>")
- One controller merges, through a train (`/captain`, the merge-train section). Lanes send
  READY and never merge. Standing approval to merge when green: "<words>".
- A merge outside a train costs a backstop gate; none without the owner's words.

## Spend (<owner>, <date>: "<words>")

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add garrytan/gstack/captain/templates/AGENTS.md@sha256:7508c832aca4a4b2

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261031.6748d54, 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.
