Bootstrap or refresh root AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md.

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

# Bootstrap AGENTS.md

Create the smallest root instruction set that gives capable coding agents project knowledge they cannot reliably infer for themselves. Keep hard contracts exact and leave implementation and presentation choices open when current repository evidence can guide them.

## Output Contract

Produce these repository-root artifacts unless the user asks for a wider instruction hierarchy:

- `AGENTS.md`: high-signal repository truths, boundaries, and validation expectations that earn space in persistent context.
- `CLAUDE.md`: exactly `@AGENTS.md` followed by one newline.

When replacing an existing root instruction file, write a coherent new file rather than appending to inherited wording. Preserve supported intent, not the old file's structure.

Exact commands, repository-relative paths, tool or dependency names, versions, and URLs may belong in `AGENTS.md` when their literal form changes agent behavior and repository evidence shows they are stable. Exclude secrets, machine-local absolute paths, copied session history, volatile inventories, and detail that a competent agent can recover cheaply from the repository.

## 1. Establish Scope and Baseline

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jpcaparas/skills/bootstrap-agents-md@sha256:80f063b571fd4013

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260925.692d684, 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.
