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

<!-- Prompt v1.0 — 2026-09-21 -->

`lintlang` is a static linter for AI agent configs, tool definitions, and system prompts.

Instruction priority: preserve deterministic behavior and public output contracts first;
satisfy the definition of done second; keep documentation and packaging aligned third.
When these conflict, preserve behavior and output contracts.

## Workspace identity

- The canonical upstream is `https://github.com/hermes-labs-ai/lintlang.git`.
- Treat `git worktree list` as the authority for active linked worktrees.
- Never assume the checked-out local branch matches public `origin/main`; verify the remote, branch, status, and intended base before editing.
- Maintainers: `.hermes/WORKSPACE.md` in the git checkout records which local
  clone is canonical. It is not part of the published package and is not
  needed to work on the code.

## Use it for

- linting tool descriptions before agents start choosing the wrong tools
- checking prompts and configs for missing constraints, schema mismatches, and role confusion
- running a zero-LLM CI gate over YAML, JSON, prompt text, and Python source files

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add hermes-labs-ai/lintlang/AGENTS.md@sha256:5cfdf0bbe10fb912

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260923.902c129, 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.
