AGENTS.md agentsA
AGENTS.md is agent-read markdown (agents) from hermes-labs-ai/rule-audit.
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
What the file says
# Owner: Hermes Labs - https://hermes-labs.ai # AGENTS.md — rule-audit Guidance for AI agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Aider, Continue, etc.) editing this repo. Human reviewers read this too. Short, imperative, load-bearing. ## What this repo is `rule-audit` — a **static analyzer for AI system prompts**. Input: raw prompt text. Output: structured report of contradictions, coverage gaps, priority ambiguities, meta-paradoxes, absoluteness issues, and concrete edge-case attack scenarios. Pure Python. Zero LLM dependency. Zero network calls. Runs in milliseconds. Think: `bandit` / `semgrep` — but for system prompts. Part of the Hermes Labs reliability stack: - `rule-audit` — static analysis of prompt logical content (this repo) - `lintlang` — static linter for agent configs and tool descriptions (structure, not logical content) — complementary - `hermes-jailbench` — dynamic jailbreak regression suite for live endpoints — complementary - `colony-probe` — prompt-confidentiality audit (system-prompt reconstruction via multi-turn probing) ## Start here 1. Read `.claude/CLAUDE.md` — project conventions, adding detectors, adding clusters. …
