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

# Product-Led Collaboration Guidelines

> For mixed PM + engineering teams working with AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and others).
> Biases toward *shipping the right thing*, not just shipping fast.

Inspired by [Andrej Karpathy's observations](https://x.com/karpathy/status/2015883857489522876) on LLM coding pitfalls, rewritten to cover the failure modes that bite product teams before a single line of code is written: wrong problem, wrong scope, invisible tradeoffs, and unmeasured outcomes.

## When to Skip This Rigor

Not every change needs all seven. Use judgment:

| Change type | Apply |
|---|---|
| Typo, comment, obvious one-liner | None - just do it |
| Bug fix, small internal refactor | Principles 2, 3, 5 |
| New user-facing feature | All seven |
| Architecture, pricing, public API, data model | All seven + explicit one-way-door sign-off |

The goal is reducing costly mistakes on non-trivial work - not ceremony on trivial work.

---

## Prior Decisions & Checklists

Before any non-trivial work, read `.product-mode/decisions/` - it is the decision log from Principle 7. Do not re-decide what is already decided there unless its revisit trigger has fired.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add sohaibt/product-mode/AGENTS.md@sha256:02fd876d8ac6f997

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261010.a164f91, 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.
