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

# AGENTS.md

> Entry point for any LLM coding agent (Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor, Aider, etc.) reading
> this repository. Read this file first.

## Session start reading order

Before doing repository work in a new chat session, read these in order:

1. [`.github/copilot-instructions.md`](./.github/copilot-instructions.md) — build/style conventions
2. [`.agent/instructions/collaboration-rules.instructions.md`](./.agent/instructions/collaboration-rules.instructions.md)
3. [`.agent/instructions/memory-bank.instructions.md`](./.agent/instructions/memory-bank.instructions.md)
4. [`.memory-bank/activeContext.md`](./.memory-bank/activeContext.md) and
   [`.memory-bank/learnings.md`](./.memory-bank/learnings.md)

Per-agent VS Code chat modes live in [`.github/chatmodes/`](./.github/chatmodes/) — one per Roster
role (Planner, Coder, QA, Reviewer, Researcher, E2E) plus a `repo-expert` Q&A mode.

## What this repo is

**Roster** — a human-in-the-loop, hierarchical multi-agent framework for software-engineering
and workflow automation. Architecture and rationale are in [`conclave-spec.md`](./conclave-spec.md).
A summary is in [`README.md`](./README.md).

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add zhiming-dev/roster/AGENTS.md@sha256:47fc469375b4e5b7

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260630.0601754, 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.
