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

Instructions for AI coding agents working on `Birfy/agentdescent`. Human
contributors: [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) has the same rules with more
background. The owner and only maintainer is Danyang (GitHub `Birfy`).

## Before you code

1. Read [LESSONS.md](LESSONS.md). Open lessons are constraints.
2. Read [CODE_STANDARDS.md](CODE_STANDARDS.md): Verifier honesty, tests that
   fail on `main`, offline tests, generated files, the merge gate.
3. Keep the **Hard rules** below.

## Pipeline contract

One issue → one fresh clone → one branch → one PR → green CI → review → merge by tier.

1. **Issue.** Work one `agent-ready` issue per session, in a **fresh clone**
   (`git clone https://github.com/Birfy/agentdescent <run-dir>/repo`), never in a
   shared or stale checkout.
2. **Branch** from the latest `origin/main`. Write a test that **fails on
   `main`**, then fix the class of bug, not the one sample.
3. **Verify locally** at the tip: `pip install -e ".[dev]"`, `pytest -q`, and
   `mkdocs build --strict` when `docs/` or `mkdocs.yml` changed (see Commands).
4. **PR** to `main`. Imperative English title (`fix(runstore): …`,

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add birfy/agentdescent/AGENTS.md@sha256:4622a0b87b707bd5

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261019.28fb504, 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.
