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

# Plugin Instructions

These instructions apply when working under `plugins/methodsmith/`.
They supplement the repo-root `AGENTS.md`.

# Methodsmith Plugin Development

## Runtime vs Authoring Context

**This plugin's `AGENTS.md` and `CLAUDE.md` files are authoring context — they do not ship with the installed plugin.** Skills are packaged and installed into end-user environments (their own repos, or folders that may not even be git repos), where they run against *the user's* `AGENTS.md`/`CLAUDE.md`, not this repo's.

Consequences:

- Behavioral rules that govern skill *runtime* behavior must live inside the skill itself — in `SKILL.md` or files under its `references/`. Guidance placed in this file is invisible at runtime.
- When two or more skills share a behavioral principle, duplicate the guidance into each skill (inline for short rules, `references/` for longer ones). There is no cross-skill shared-file mechanism (see "File References in Skills" below).
- Do not propose that runtime guidance for method-ideate, method-brainstorm, method-plan, or any other skill live in this AGENTS.md or in the repo-root AGENTS.md. Those files only shape how contributors edit the plugin.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add sajor2000/methodsmith/plugins/methodsmith/AGENTS.md@sha256:72042464abbd93a8

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.114b5d8, 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.
