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 Handbook

## Before starting

Read the guidance relevant to your task. Prefer nearer `AGENTS.md` instructions
when working within a directory.

- Before making or reviewing a change, read [RULES.md](RULES.md).
- For product usage and setup, read [README.md](README.md).
- Before changing design boundaries, read [docs/architecture.md](docs/architecture.md).

## CLI implementation

- For command behavior, start with `src/dotbrain/cli.py` for parsing,
  `workflows.py` for orchestration, then the relevant concept module.
- For wiring and path contracts, read [docs/wiring.md](docs/wiring.md) and
  inspect `src/dotbrain/paths.py`.
- For packaged resources, inspect `src/dotbrain/resources/` and its accessor,
  `src/dotbrain/resource_loader.py`.
- For configuration changes, read [docs/configuration.md](docs/configuration.md).

## Agent workflows and runtime integration

- For workflow or skill instructions, read
  [plugin/skills/README.md](plugin/skills/README.md), then the relevant definitions
  under `plugin/`.
- For resource delivery and runtime discovery, read the
  [runtime delivery guidance](docs/session-context.md#subagents), then inspect
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add arminzou/dotbrain/AGENTS.md@sha256:c73b9096dc84faf8

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261017.5b1062d, 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.
