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

# CLAUDE.md — Project orientation for Claude Code

Vera is a programming language designed for LLMs to write. It has mandatory contracts, algebraic effects, typed slot references (`@T.n`), and compiles to WebAssembly. The reference compiler is written in Python.

## Virtual environment

Always use the project venv. All commands below assume it is active:

```bash
source .venv/bin/activate
```

If the venv does not exist, create it first:

```bash
python -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate && pip install -e ".[dev]"
```

If you prefer `uv`, use `uv sync --extra dev` (not plain `uv sync`). The `[dev]` extras group holds pytest, mypy, ruff, pre-commit, and pip-licenses; `uv sync` without `--extra dev` will quietly uninstall those and make `pytest` fall through to a non-venv copy that can't import `vera`.

## Key commands

```bash
vera check file.vera              # Parse and type-check
vera check --json file.vera       # Type-check with JSON diagnostics
vera check --quiet file.vera      # Type-check, suppress success output
vera check --explain-slots file.vera  # Show slot resolution table (which @T.n maps to which param)
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add aallan/vera/CLAUDE.md@sha256:fbd5e93253e2812d

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261022.17c1c36, 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.
