Guide adoption of AI-Engineering-Playbook governance files in a portable, repeatable way across repositories.

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

# playbook-installer

## Purpose During Development

Use this skill when a repository needs to adopt AI-Engineering-Playbook governance files in a portable, repeatable way.

This is a development-time onboarding skill. It must not create runtime coupling to application code.

## When To Apply

- setting up a new repository for Codex governance
- standardizing `AGENTS.md` and `skills/` layout across multiple repos
- migrating a repository from ad hoc prompts to playbook-based workflows

## What To Inspect

- repository root for an existing `AGENTS.md`
- repository root for an existing `skills/` directory
- existing governance or contributing docs that may conflict
- any repo-specific boundaries that must be preserved during adoption

## Rules To Enforce

- treat governance artifacts as non-runtime files
- prefer additive adoption first, then tighten rules iteratively
- preserve repository-specific boundaries while importing generic playbook rules
- avoid overwriting existing governance files without explicit confirmation

## Common Anti-Patterns To Catch

- adding playbook guidance into runtime source directories
- copying templates verbatim without repo-specific customization

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add polakinio/ai-engineering-playbook/playbook-installer@sha256:19b362dc1e00d4e4

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260812.5b0dd88, 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.
