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

# Working on termlens

Instructions for coding agents — and useful to humans. **termlens** is a headless PTY test harness: spawn a terminal program in a real pseudo-terminal, render its output with a VT emulator, and assert on the screen grid a user would see.

This file is the canonical brief; `CLAUDE.md` points here. `CONTRIBUTING.md`
is the full contributor document and wins wherever the two disagree.

## Layout

- `crates/termlens/` — the published library. `terminal.rs` is the runtime,
  `spawn.rs` starts the child (on Unix by itself, see DESIGN §1),
  `screen.rs` the snapshot types, `emu/` the VT emulation behind a small
  internal trait, `graphics.rs` the inline-image capture and decoder.
- `crates/termlens-cli/` — the `termlens` command (`inspect`, `diff`,
  `render`), published as `termlens-cli`. `crates/termlens/examples/inspect.rs`
  mirrors `termlens inspect`, and `crates/termlens/tests/inspect.rs` checks the
  two agree, so a change to one needs the other.
- `fixtures/` — deterministic terminal programs the integration suite spawns
  in real PTYs. Never published; `publish = false`.
- `docs/DESIGN.md` — four layers, the wait-semantics contract, the snapshot
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add vyncint/termlens/AGENTS.md@sha256:2ae5d461dc21bd33

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.83c6a10, 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.
