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

<!-- tree-ring:begin codex v1 -->
## Tree Ring Memory

Read `.tree-ring/AGENTS.md`, `.tree-ring/SKILL.md`, and `.tree-ring/CLI.md` before substantive work. The project lifecycle hook runs receipt-backed recall at session boundaries and one strict automatic capture checkpoint before a session or subagent turn stops. Do not claim memory is active without a valid project-local recall receipt. Capture zero to three concise durable candidates; never store a transcript or invent memory.
<!-- tree-ring:end codex -->

Clean checkout: the marked memory preflight above applies when the generated
`.tree-ring/AGENTS.md`, `SKILL.md`, and `CLI.md` exist. If they are absent, treat
Tree Ring memory as inactive and continue with this tracked repository contract
and its DOX hierarchy. Initialize local memory only when setup is authorized;
missing generated files do not block ordinary repository work.

# Tree Ring Memory repository

Tree Ring is a Rust workspace for local, lifecycle-aware agent memory. Read
`README.md` for commands and `docs/protocol/harness-activation.md` for activation.
Root ownership covers Cargo manifests, `install.sh`, schemas, shared assets,

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add terminallylazy/tree-ring-memory/AGENTS.md@sha256:cd45c3120aece723

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260915.5cb649d, 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.
