Use when a tk branch is about to be marked ready for review, or when asked to check a PR against AGENTS.md, remove dead code, de-slop, or clean up a branch before merge. Covers Rust code, docs, skills, and help text. Also use after finishing any feature work in this repo, before opening or un-drafting the PR.

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

# Conforming to AGENTS.md

## Overview

Drive a branch to zero violations of `AGENTS.md`, zero dead code, and zero slop
in its Rust code, `docs/`, `skills/`, `README.md`, and help text by looping: sweep with parallel reviewers, fix findings with serial fixers, re-sweep.
The loop ends only when a fresh sweep returns nothing.

A finding is a definite violation of a written rule. Hedged observations are not
findings and are dropped at sweep time.

## Scope

With no argument: the branch diff from the merge base with `main` through the
working tree, including uncommitted and untracked files:

```bash
git add --intent-to-add . && git diff origin/main
```

Findings are then limited to lines the branch touched and code the branch made
dead. Pre-existing violations in untouched code are out of scope. Say so if a
reviewer reports one, and drop it.

With an argument, for example `/conforming-to-agents-md tk/src/gpg` or
`/conforming-to-agents-md tk auth`: every file under those paths, not the diff.
Reviewers get the file list instead of the diff command, and every violation in
those files is in scope. The slop rule "Doc comment on untouched item" applies

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add tkhq/tk/conforming-to-agents-md@sha256:fa3b5b1e5ecf270f

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261015.483c273, 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.
