Use when a README cannot be followed verbatim -- setup or test commands fail or are vague, environment requirements are unstated, or a new engineer or agent cannot bootstrap the project quickly.

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

## Purpose

A good README is an executable contract, not a marketing page. It must allow an agent or a new engineer to clone the repository and run tests within 3 minutes.

## When to Use

- Onboarding feedback says setup instructions fail or are ambiguous
- The project's scripts, dependencies, or env requirements changed
- Before publishing the repo or handing it to another team or agent

## Inputs

- The current README and the repo it claims to describe
- The actual scripts and tooling (package manifest, Makefile, CI config)

## Workflow

1. **Verify commands.** Extract every shell command from the README (npm install, docker-compose up, cargo test) and check each against repo evidence — then run them in a clean environment where possible. If they fail, fix the README:

   ```bash
   rg -n "^( {4}|\t)\S|^\$ " README.md            # command lines in the README
   rg -n "\"scripts\"" -A 20 package.json         # do documented npm scripts exist?
   ```

2. **Remove ambiguity.** Replace "Install dependencies" with the exact command (npm ci). Replace "Run the app" with the exact script (npm run start:dev).
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add yeaight7/agent-powerups/readme-hardening@sha256:9db0de708fe88466

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260606.80be54d, 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.
