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

# AGENTS.md

- Why things are the way they are: see `context/index.md`

## Keep the Why

This project records the reasoning behind its code with the Keep the Why
skill (https://keepthewhy.com) — the `.keep-the-why` file at the project
root is its config. Before doing anything else in a session, whatever the
first request is about, load the skill: in Claude Code, invoke the
`keep-the-why` skill (Skill tool); in any other agent, read
`.claude/skills/keep-the-why/SKILL.md` and follow it, including the
`references/*.md` files it points to for the situation at hand.

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add oliver-zehentleitner/keep-the-why/tools/evals/fixtures/autostart-project-instruction-loads-skill/AGENTS.md@sha256:28b329e61d55aef7

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260904.ae66ab5, 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.
