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 — Instructions for AI agents

This document is for AI agents working with the Vera codebase. There are two audiences: agents writing Vera code, and agents working on the compiler.

## For agents writing Vera code

Read `SKILL.md` for the full language reference. It covers syntax, slot references, contracts, effects, common mistakes, and working examples that all parse correctly.

### Conformance programs as reference

The conformance suite in `tests/conformance/` contains small, self-contained programs — named by spec chapter and feature (`chNN_feature.vera`) — that serve as minimal working examples (most are fully self-contained; the cross-module programs of Chapters 7–9 import companion `_lib`/module fixtures). Each positive program must pass its declared verification level (see `manifest.json` for mappings: `parse`, `check`, `verify`, or `run`); the negative fixtures (the entries with `expected_error` in `tests/conformance/manifest.json`) instead must *fail* with the E-code in their `expected_error` field, at the stage their `expected_error_stage` names — `check` by default, or `compile` for a diagnostic the checker accepts and codegen refuses. When you need to see…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add aallan/vera/AGENTS.md@sha256:0dd86df04d195e6d

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261021.27f18f3, 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.
