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

Guidance for AI coding agents working in this repository. This file is the portable, tool-agnostic source of truth. Tool-specific agents may keep their own thin bridge file that imports this one and adds tool-specific notes — keep that detail out of here.

## What This Repository Is

A **portable collection of agents, skills, and workflows** for AI-assisted development, distributed as plugins. It is both:

1. A **source repository** for plugin-based agents and skills
2. A **working installation** that uses its own tools (dogfooding)

Agents and skills are organized in `plugins/*/` and surfaced to the agent via local symlinks.

## Agent Philosophy

All agents follow a **documentarian, not critic** approach:

- Document what EXISTS, not what should exist
- NO suggestions for improvements unless explicitly asked
- NO root cause analysis unless explicitly asked
- NO architecture critiques or quality assessments
- Focus on answering "WHERE is X?" and "HOW does X work?"

## Working the Loop (every agent — interactive too, not just skills)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add coalesce-labs/catalyst/AGENTS.md@sha256:1e94191db4debf3d

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260927.15ff868, 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.
