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
# {{NAME}} external memory
Working memory for {{NAME}}. Distilled facts and state only. Conversations never land here.
## Ritual
- Session start: `git pull --rebase --quiet`, read `INDEX.md`. When working an initiative, read its `initiatives/<name>.md` spoke. Do not preload spokes you are not using.
- Session end, if state changed: append dated entries to the spoke's State log (newest first), update the Active initiatives table in `INDEX.md` if status moved, run `python3 scripts/lint.py`, then commit and push.
- New initiative: copy `initiatives/_TEMPLATE.md`. Cross-cutting facts (people, systems, conventions) go in `INDEX.md`; anything belonging to one workstream goes in its spoke. Apply the deletion test to every line: would removing it cause a future session to make a mistake? If not, leave it out.
## Hard rules
- Never a secret value, token, password, or key. `ACCESS.md` holds pointers only. The linter blocks token shapes and runs as an enforced pre-commit hook (`core.hooksPath=hooks`); treat a failure as a stop.
- Never a transcript, recording, or chat log as content. Cite the document, ticket, or message, or write "per the conversation".

How to install
mdr add ericpardee/agent-files/external-memory/templates/CLAUDE.md@sha256:27519f5389f2cdacThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260920.afc4daa, 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.
