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

# GLOBAL RULES
- this is a global instruction file
- it should NOT contain project-specific info

## RESPONSES
- Make ALL of your responses clear & very concise
- Use simple & easy-to-understand language
- write in short sentences, in plain English
- the User cannot see tool outputs, show him everything in text
- Start top-level bullets without indentation. Indent nested bullets only beneath another bullet—not beneath plain text.

## BEHAVIOR
- For local previews, use localhost
- for major product / architecture decisions, consult the User
- DO NOT use the multi-choice question UI. Ask the User in plain text.
- Never suggest that the User switch to Plan Mode, and never switch to it yourself
- DO NOT add new dependencies without the User's explicit approval or request
- Assume the User may have changed things since you last looked (files, apps, timelines). Re-check the live state before you answer or act.

## CODE QUALITY
- NEVER mention development time (aka how long things will take)
- because of Agents, refactors & code changes that would take weeks, now take just MINUTES.
- ignore the cost of time, and instead focus on quality, simplicity, robustness, scalability

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add davidondrej/skills/AGENTS.md@sha256:6f876bbe16c42439

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261018.03e51ca, 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.
