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

Guidance for coding agents working on this repository. Claude Code reads this via the
`@AGENTS.md` import in [CLAUDE.md](CLAUDE.md); Codex, Copilot, Cursor, Gemini and others
read it directly.

**This file is always loaded. Keep it short enough to be read, and put nothing here that a
command already prints.** The pre-commit hook names every guard it runs, the rule it
enforces, the offending line and the fix, so this file does not restate them.

## Start here, every session

Do these four before acting, including after a context reset or compaction. They take
under a minute and each one has cost a real sprint when skipped.

1. `sdlc-studio/reviews/LATEST.md` - what the last run landed and what it left owed.

   before any design decision, not after.
4. `git fetch` - a stale clone mints ids the remote already used and plans over artefacts
   somebody else changed.

## The failure mode this repo actually has

Not ignorance. **Rules that were read and then not followed.** One session produced five

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add darrenbenson/sdlc-studio/AGENTS.md@sha256:ae45b102cd841065

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261019.692c6d8, 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.
