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

This file is the shared cross-tool entry point for AI coding agents working on cladding (OpenAI Codex, Cursor, Cline, Aider, Continue, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, JetBrains Junie, Windsurf, and other [agents.md](https://agents.md/) hosts). [`CLAUDE.md`](CLAUDE.md) is the Claude Code maintainer addendum; it does not replace this shared contract or `GOVERNANCE.md`.

## 1. Project

cladding is the reference implementation of the [Ironclad](https://github.com/qwerfunch/ironclad) standard. Multi-agent dev harness; 15 Iron Law stages; 41 drift detectors; polyglot toolchain (9 languages). Successor to harness-boot.

## 2. Setup

End-user install:

```
npm install -g cladding
```

Contributor install (clones the repo and pulls dev dependencies):

```
git clone https://github.com/qwerfunch/cladding && cd cladding && npm install
```

Requires Node ≥ 20 to develop — the test runner and linter need it. The published tool itself
runs on Node ≥ 16.

## 3. Verify before pushing

Run all four. The first three must pass cleanly; the fourth must be green (the 15-stage gate) on a clean working tree.

```
npm test
npm run typecheck
npm run lint
node bin/clad.mjs check
```
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add qwerfunch/cladding/AGENTS.md@sha256:82416822d73a001c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260910.4c09ccc, 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.
