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

# CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

## Project Overview

GAIA (Generative AI Is Awesome) is AMD's open-source framework for running generative AI applications locally on AMD hardware, with specialized optimizations for Ryzen AI processors with NPU support.

**Key Documentation:**
- External site: https://amd-gaia.ai
- Development setup: [`docs/reference/dev.mdx`](docs/reference/dev.mdx)
- SDK Reference: https://amd-gaia.ai/sdk
- Guides: https://amd-gaia.ai/guides

## How You Communicate

**Canonical output-style rule — Claude's one voice.** If a developer reads it, this
governs it: chat, PR reviews, PR bodies, issue replies, issues Claude files itself,
commit bodies, release notes, subagent reports, workflow comments. No surface gets its
own dialect.

Every other file (`REVIEW.md`, `.claude/**`, `.github/workflows/claude*.yml`) **links
here, never restates** — a second copy is a second thing to drift. `REVIEW.md` differs
in scope, not voice: it owns review severity, the nit cap, and length caps.

### The rule

1. **Open with the finding.** One or two sentences a non-author gets without reading the
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add amd/gaia/CLAUDE.md@sha256:35bd0d40592dce1f

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261019.b0d240f, 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.
