License
a license file GitHub does not identify

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

# Deft — Development Framework (deft repo)

You are working inside the deft framework repository itself.
Full guidelines: main.md

## First Session (deft development)

**Headless bypass**: If dispatched with a specific task (cloud agent, CI agent, scheduled run), skip onboarding and proceed directly.

! Phase routing: same rules as the managed `## Session routing (#2176)` bootstrap card below; in this repo read `content/skills/deft-directive-setup/SKILL.md` (not `.deft/core/.agents/skills/`). ⊗ Respond to user queries before the correct phase fires.

## Returning Sessions

Same rules as the managed `## Session routing (#2176)` bootstrap card below; in this repo `~` runs `content/skills/deft-directive-sync/SKILL.md`.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add deftai/directive/AGENTS.md@sha256:6a36bbc2691e5fbf

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261018.106aa3e, 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.
