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 — read this before touching anything

## Repo

- **Name:** `coco`
- **Origin:** `https://github.com/coco-research/coco.git`
- **Stack:** node
- **SoT playbook:** `~/code/jev-use/docs/repo-playbook.html`

## 0. The documents, and when each is authoritative

| File | Answers | Update when |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `docs/prd.md` | What and why | Scope changes |
| `docs/architecture.md` | How the parts fit | Structure changes |
| `docs/rules.md` | The laws. Invariants | ONLY with owner approval |
| `docs/design.md` | What it looks and feels like | UI work |
| `docs/tasks.md` | What is worked on now | Every PR |
| `docs/memory.md` | Decisions and dead ends | Every PR that settles something |

If two documents disagree, the earlier one in that table wins. Never
silently pick one — fix the disagreement in the same PR.

## 1. The PR contract

- Every change is a small PR. No direct pushes to `main`.
- Gate green before review. Run `.githooks/pre-push` or `git push` and let it.
- Evidence, not assertions. Paste the command and its real output.
- One concern per PR. Two things touched means two PRs.
- Fill the PR template in honestly, including the Risk section.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add coco-research/coco/AGENTS.md@sha256:691473c7f37417b3

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261007.61dca6d, 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.
