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

Brigade is a zero-runtime-dependency Python CLI for agent memory, handoffs, and
local guardrails, published to PyPI as `brigade-cli`. Source lives in
`src/brigade/`, tests in `tests/`, harness/depth/include manifests in
`src/brigade/templates/`.

Installing, evaluating, or adapting Brigade for a user's workspace? Follow
[docs/agents-guide.md](docs/agents-guide.md) instead. This file is for
developing Brigade itself; the contributor policy lives in `CONTRIBUTING.md`.

## Definition of Done

Development slices use the focused gate through Brigade:

```bash
brigade work verify run --target . --argv-json '["./scripts/verify-focused","<pytest-selector>"]' --capture brigade-work
```

`./scripts/verify-focused` runs ruff lint, ruff format check, the version-sync
check, managed snapshot, template-profile snapshot, mypy, and only the named
pytest selectors. Report the actual result, paste any failure verbatim, and
never claim success you did not observe.

Reserve the full coverage gate for pull requests, merges, releases, and
verification-infrastructure changes. Run it once through Brigade:

```bash
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add escoffier-labs/brigade/AGENTS.md@sha256:cf77d5ff929f2188

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261019.fa71326, 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.
