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.

<!-- APM Version: 0.24.0 -->

## Global Instructions

Development rules for skillsaw.

## Pre-push Checklist

<!-- skillsaw-disable-next-line content-hook-candidate -->
CRITICAL: You MUST always run these steps before pushing changes.

1. Ensure branch is up to date with UPSTREAM (stbenjam/skillsaw) — check git
   remotes then merge upstream's main.
2. Run `make test` — run the full test suite and ensure all tests pass. Never
   assume a problem is pre-existing; follow the boyscout rule and fix it anyway.
3. Run `make lint` — check formatting (or run `make format` to fix it).
4. Run `make update` — regenerate all generated files (must come after version bump).
5. Test against `openshift-eng/ai-helpers`: clone it, run `skillsaw`, and ensure exit 0.

## Pre-PR Checklist

Follow these checks before opening a PR:

- Check whether documentation is up to date for the changes on this branch.
    - Example: you add a new feature, flag, or lint type.
      Action: update `README.md` to include this.
    - Example: you encounter a problem during development you must keep for later.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add stbenjam/skillsaw/AGENTS.md@sha256:d995e88f43431c5e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260926.43e8ea0, 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.
