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 — governed by {ai} Engineering (`ai-eng --version`)

Guidance for AI coding agents working in this repository. Human teammates should be able to follow every line too. Only rules an agent CANNOT deduce from the code live here; if a rule becomes obvious from reading the code, delete it from this file.

## Security
- Never bypass a git hook or a check: no `--no-verify`, no `-n` on commit, no `HUSKY=0`.
- Never silence a linter: no `noqa`, `@ts-ignore`, `eslint-disable`, `nosec`.
- No secrets, no personal data, no machine-specific absolute paths in any file.

## Code style
- KISS, YAGNI, DRY, SOLID, TDD, Clean Code.
- Explain it so someone who doesn't code can follow along.
- **Readable code** (Boswell & Foucher): minimize the time it takes someone else to understand your code.
  - Names say purpose or value; no generic names (`data`, `temp`, `helper` are forbidden).
  - Prefix booleans (`is`, `has`, `can`, `should`); prefix limits (`max`, `min`).
  - Use positive conditions (`if (isValid)` over `if (!isInvalid)`).
  - Early returns over deep nesting; flat control flow wins.
  - Comments explain *why*, not *what*; never repeat the function signature in prose.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add arcasilesgroup/ai-engineering/AGENTS.md@sha256:8dadaedae6c97d74

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261004.3e3bd00, 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.
