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

## Project Overview

The LangGraph backend provides sandbox execution, persistent memory, subagent delegation, and extensible tools, isolated per thread.

**Architecture**:
- **Gateway API** (port 8001): REST API plus embedded LangGraph-compatible agent runtime
- **Frontend** (port 3000): Next.js web interface
- **Nginx** (port 2026): Unified reverse proxy entry point
- **Provisioner** (port 8002, optional in Docker dev): Started only when sandbox is configured for provisioner/Kubernetes mode

**Runtime**:
- `make dev`, Docker dev, and production all run the agent runtime in Gateway via `RunManager` + `run_agent()` + `StreamBridge` (`packages/harness/deerflow/runtime/`). Nginx exposes that runtime at `/api/langgraph/*` and rewrites it to Gateway's native `/api/*` routers.
- Gateway streams `write_file` and `str_replace` argument deltas in bounded batches for multi-mode `messages-tuple` consumers; single-mode message consumers retain the original per-chunk contract. Non-message frames flush pending batches, and `values` remains an optional complete-state snapshot rather than a prerequisite for batching.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add bytedance/deer-flow/backend/AGENTS.md@sha256:a6674397d74fcbb6

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261020.d85e0e8, 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.
