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

### Subagent System (`packages/harness/deerflow/subagents/`)

Accumulate validated ToolMessage knowledge across values frames in
`SubagentResult.knowledge_sources`: at most 100 sources, deduplicated by evidence ID.
Publish before terminal state; retain through compaction. Ordinary `task` forwards
reported handles via a bounded appendix/artifact. Mixed artifacts keep native
RAGFlow snapshots in `knowledge_sources` and shared `retrieval_sources`; pruning
preserves native snapshots. Scan changed message suffixes; reset on compaction or
prefix replacement, and tolerate null frames.

Result-reader tests cover SQLite and isolated TEST_POSTGRES_URI schemas:
submission, completion, reopen and ToolNode continuation, without paid models.
Clean up temporary schemas.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add bytedance/deer-flow/backend/packages/harness/deerflow/subagents/AGENTS.md@sha256:5a04c47cfe753ec1

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261023.03c95f5, 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.
