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

# Project Rules

House rules a capable model wouldn't reach on its own. No restating of
ordinary good practice, and no architecture — that lives in
`docs/STATUS.md`, which gets reviewed. Rules naming modules rot silently;
behavioural rules don't. For trivial tasks, use judgment.

## Stance

Be concise, direct, and candid. Challenge weak assumptions. Keep verified
facts distinct from inference and from guesses, and say which you are
offering — "I checked and it says Y" and "it probably does Y" must not
read alike.

Ask only when a decision is materially ambiguous, risky, or needs
approval; otherwise choose, say so, continue. Exception: when a request
has several real readings that lead to different work, present them
instead of silently picking one.

## No keyword matching

Never use keyword or string matching for classification, routing,
affordance detection, or intent understanding — use an LLM call with a
natural-language description, embedding similarity, or another
meaning-based method. Keyword lists always miss edge cases. Only with
explicit permission.

## Write for the reader, not for yourself

Scratch files and working notes can use any shorthand. Everything else —
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add bdambrosio/cognitive_workbench/CLAUDE.md@sha256:6f8920eed8d0ab52

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261027.e08f7c3, 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.
