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

# Kocoro Project Guide (AGENTS.md)

**Condensed mirror of `CLAUDE.md`** — rules + greppable symbols. If they
disagree, `CLAUDE.md` and the code win.

**Keep this file under 24 KB (CI asserts)** — cut prose, not rules. Within
1 KB of the ceiling, adding bytes requires cutting at least as many from this
file (CI asserts).

Kocoro is the Go CLI/runtime (`shan`) for Shannon agents. Production: daemon +
Desktop + Cloud. Also TUI, one-shot CLI, MCP, schedules.

Layout: `cmd/` (Cobra) + `internal/<pkg>/`; `daemon/` drives `agent/`.

## Working Rules

- `go.mod` is the source of truth for the Go version.
- Prefer existing repo patterns over new abstractions; keep changes tied to the task.
- Verify API response bodies, not just status codes.
- No parallel `_enhanced` variants — update existing code in place.
- Risky behavior changes keep operator-visible flags, rollback paths, focused tests.
- Test locally before pushing dependency or generated-code changes.
- New `const max[A-Z]\w+ = <small_int>`: the comment MUST name (1) the workload,
  (2) the symptom when it binds, (3) the override path. Prefer
  `viper.SetDefault(...)` for liftable caps. Re-check small-int caps on
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add kocoro-lab/kocoro/AGENTS.md@sha256:1a734767dbc045b6

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260902.8ff9919, 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.
