GPL-3.0

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 This Repository Is

Claude of Alexandria is a public, GPL-3.0 project with two halves that ship together:

1. **The plugin** (`plugins/claude-of-alexandria/`, installed as `coa`) — skills, agents, and a workflow for rigorous biblical study, developed with Test-Driven Development and validated with promptfoo evals. Its machine name is `coa`; the display name stays "Claude of Alexandria", because Claude Code reserves plugin names starting with `claude-` (see `docs/adr/0004-rename-off-reserved-claude-prefix.md`). Its only code is a small model guard in `hooks/guard.ts` (`docs/adr/0006-model-guard-ships-in-coa.md`); `tests/validation/core-hooks.test.mjs` keeps it that way, so anything else that needs code goes in the opt-in `plugins/coa-desk/`.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add davebream/claude-of-alexandria/CLAUDE.md@sha256:01985eef3abcd5d6

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261012.5580a2a, 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.
