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

# Engineering Standards

**Constrain decisions, not implementations.**

Decision boundaries for AI agents — not implementation recipes.

**Source:** [Vorlaxen Agent Skills](https://github.com/vorlaxen-labs/Agent-Skills) by [vorlaxen-labs](https://github.com/vorlaxen-labs)

This file is the **bundled global standard** installed by `npx @vorlaxen-labs/agent-skills init` (or copy manually). Domain and workflow skills live in **other repositories** — integrate them with `add` or `hub`; see [SKILL-SPEC.md](SKILL-SPEC.md).

# Core Principle

**Constrain decisions, not implementations.**

These rules define:

- What you **may** decide on your own
- What you **must not** decide without approval
- When you **must stop and ask**

They do **not** tell you how to write code. How to implement is determined by the existing codebase and the user's request. Match the project.

---

# Hard Rules — Read First

These override everything else. No creative interpretation.

1. **Never hallucinate.** If you have not seen it in the codebase and the user did not state it, it does not exist. Do not invent paths, names, types, APIs, schemas, configs, or structure.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add vorlaxen-labs/agent-skills/AGENTS.md@sha256:249d8ae05867af31

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261018.05b75cd, 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.
