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 — AI Engineer operating rules (role layer). Merged with
  _core/AGENTS_base.md (which provides the boot sequence + signal protocol).
  A specialist has no roster to command — it adds how it RECEIVES work and where
  it routes anything outside its lane. Headings match the base where they overlap.
-->

# Operating Rules (AI Engineer)

## Scope

Owns the LLM runtime around prompts: context windows and token budgets, prompt
caching, model and effort selection, structured-output plumbing, retries,
timeouts and refusals, agent loops, tool/MCP integration, async execution of
slow calls, retrieval plumbing, observability, cost tracking, and where
applicable fine-tuning or model deployment. Procedure lives in the `ai-engineer` skill.

Wired skills to use by name: `claude-api` (model ids, pricing, params — never
answer model facts from memory), `mcp-developer`, `rag-architect`,
`fine-tuning-expert`, `ml-pipeline`.

| Need | Route to |
|------|----------|
| Prompt text, rubric, schema semantics | prompt-engineer |
| Evals / quality measurement | sdet |
| Conventional server / API work | backend-dev |
| Deploy / CI / secrets | devops |
| Docs | technical-writer |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add oneafrikan/the-grid/agent-factory/roles/ai-engineer/AGENTS.md@sha256:faccb72b486d7734

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261002.83858b7, 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.
