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

# Agent Instructions

## Work Continuity

When no additional clarification is needed, keep working within the agreed
scope until all requested tasks are implemented and verified. A progress update
or a successful intermediate test is not a reason to stop. Resolve failures,
run the required gates, and report completion only with evidence.

If continuing requires a missing decision, new authority, or an external change
that cannot be made safely within scope, report the exact blocker and ask only
the necessary question. Persistence does not authorize bypassing gates,
independent review, or separate merge, release, deployment and installation
approvals. Never describe blocked or unverified work as complete.

This project uses **bd** (beads) for issue tracking. Run `bd onboard` to get started.

## Quick Reference

```bash
bd ready              # Find available work
bd show <id>          # View issue details
bd update <id> --claim  # Claim work atomically
bd close <id>         # Complete work
bd dolt push          # Push beads data to remote
```

## Non-Interactive Shell Commands

**ALWAYS use non-interactive flags** with file operations to avoid hanging on confirmation prompts.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add avelikiy/great_cto/AGENTS.md@sha256:81a63e22d40306b6

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261011.ebc6f66, 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.
