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 — working in this repo

Written for AI coding agents, and equally readable by a human contributor. If you are an agent
sent here to make a change, read this first; it is short on purpose.

## What this repo is

A two-stage auditor for quote-style RAG citations. Stage 1 (`gate.py`) is a deterministic,
zero-token, zero-dependency substring check over a normalized form. Stage 2 (`judge.py`) is a
burden-of-proof prompt wired to any model through an `llm_call` callable.

The value of this package is the *order* of the two stages: the cheap deterministic question is
asked before the expensive fallible one. A change that lets stage 2 run on a quote stage 1 has
not cleared is a change to the thesis, not to the implementation — say so in the PR.

## Stack and layout

- **Python ≥ 3.9, stdlib only.** `dependencies = []` in `pyproject.toml` is a feature, not an
  oversight. `pytest` is the only extra, and only for tests.
- `src/verbatim_citation_gate/gate.py` — `normalize()`, `quote_gate()`, `GateResult`.
- `src/verbatim_citation_gate/judge.py` — `JUDGE_SYSTEM`, `judge_support()`, `audit_citation()`.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add tonydzi/verbatim-citation-gate/AGENTS.md@sha256:1e135b3ecaec6e97

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260815.9c171c9, 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.
