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

# RDF — Project CLAUDE.md

Inherits conventions from the parent workspace CLAUDE.md when one exists one
directory up (workspace shell standards, commit protocol, testing norms).
Project-specific rules below override parent defaults where explicit.

Also read `CLAUDE.md.ref` in this directory — a condensed 6-section operating-
primitives reference (Trust but Verify, Scope Discipline, Adversarial Review,
Context Preservation, Comment Discipline, Safe Execution). These are
cross-cutting behavioral invariants, not RDF-specific conventions.

## About
RDF (rfxn Development Framework) — convention governance, agent pipelines,
and project orchestration for any repo. Tool-agnostic by design.

## Development
- All content development in `canonical/` — pure markdown, no tool frontmatter
- `~/.rdf/` is the global state directory (lessons-learned, session logs, insights) — never committed
- Run `rdf generate claude-code` to deploy to `~/.claude/` — **mandatory before any commit touching `canonical/`**
- Run `rdf sync` to pull emergency edits back to canonical
- Run `rdf doctor` before push to verify zero drift

## Shell Standards
- Shebang: `#!/usr/bin/env bash`

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add rfxn/rdf/CLAUDE.md@sha256:0a47c660d9e86ca1

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261024.f212cfc, 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.
