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

# first-pass

Claude Code does not load this file on its own here: a CLAUDE.md at a plugin root fails `claude plugin validate --strict`. The breaker and the working rules read it; read it before changing this repo.

<!-- first-pass:project:start (written once by the setup-first-pass skill; yours to edit, re-runs keep it) -->

### This repo (first-pass)

- **What it is:** first-pass itself: a Claude Code plugin (`.claude-plugin/`, `hooks/hooks.json`,
  `scripts/`) and a skills pack (`skills/`) that other tools install with `npx skills`. The
  setup skill's assets (`skills/setup-first-pass/assets/`) are the rules block, profile block,
  default words block, machine block, workspace block, project block, INVARIANTS template and the breaker
  agent. The `habit-words` skill reads the user's own session transcripts
  (`scripts/lib/words.mjs`). The `sharpen` skill runs only when the user types it
  (`disable-model-invocation`) and rewrites the prompt given with it; its gate
  (`scripts/lib/sharpen-gate.mjs`) holds back edits, shell commands, subagents, MCP tools,
  publishing, scheduling and other skills until the rewrite is shown. The `review` skill,
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add joetawil7/first-pass/AGENTS.md@sha256:44e826cc5741a630

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261017.8c8e14b, 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.
