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

# Design

Companion to [ARCHITECTURE.md](./ARCHITECTURE.md). Architecture says _how the code is
shaped_; this document says _what the artefacts are_ — the manifest schema, the registry
protocol, the adapter contract, the CLI surface, and the reasoning behind each.

## 1. Research: what the target agents actually do

Everything below was verified against installed agents rather than taken from the brief.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add robsonkades/agent-skills/DESIGN.md@sha256:f15b5d3695d5df16

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261001.2e77f4f, 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.
