AGENTS.md maintenance rules for deciding when durable repo guidance should be updated after implementation.
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
Use this skill after nontrivial implementation work and before finalizing when you need to decide whether `AGENTS.md` should change. ## Rules - Treat `AGENTS.md` as durable repo guidance, not a task log. - Run a brief `AGENTS.md` maintenance pass at the end of implementation. - Do not modify `AGENTS.md` unless the implemented code, tests, and docs state already proves the new rule. - Update `AGENTS.md` only for durable repo-wide guidance such as: - required build, test, lint, typecheck, or verification commands - architecture invariants or hard constraints - canonical data shapes, contracts, directory ownership, or file locations - repo-wide coding, review, or release expectations - recurring failure modes that future sessions must avoid - Do not update `AGENTS.md` for one-off feature details, branch context, temporary migrations, issue notes, task plans, historical summaries, or implementation narration. - Keep edits minimal and high-signal. Prefer replacing, tightening, deduplicating, or deleting existing bullets over appending prose. - Keep `AGENTS.md` clean, concise, and production-facing. …

How to install
mdr add bjornmelin/dev-skills/agents-md-maintainer@sha256:ab61a91bc57c677fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260427.04641ed, 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.
