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

### Python Extension System (Runtime and Distribution)

`registry.knowledge_provider(name, provider)` (extension-api 0.2.7) adds an
operator-installed read-only `deerflow.knowledge.RetrievalProvider`. The host
validates advertised async operations, attributes entries and rolls them back
positionally with every other contribution. Provider configuration, API calls
and response mapping stay in extensions; core owns capabilities, Scope
admission and source validation. Catalog and execution resolve the same loaded
snapshot, with run-bound snapshots taking precedence over the singleton.
See [the contract](../../../../docs/KNOWLEDGE.md) and the packaged
`examples/deerflow-extension-knowledge` sample. Older registry implementations
return False; never silently ignore unsupported registration.

Third-party Python packages can expose an `install(registry, config)` function and be
loaded, in deterministic order, from the startup-only top-level `plugins:` list in
`config.yaml`. Keep this list out of `extensions_config.json`: the latter is writable
through Gateway APIs, while importing Python entry points is an operator-controlled code
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add bytedance/deer-flow/backend/packages/harness/deerflow/extensions/AGENTS.md@sha256:1df03db7eac58866

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261018.d1d0958, 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.
