Rules for creating and editing vibecosystem agent definitions.

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

# Agent Development Rules

## Agent File Format

Each agent is a Markdown file with YAML frontmatter:

```yaml
---
name: agent-name
description: One-line description of what the agent does
tools: [Read, Write, Edit, Bash, Grep, Glob]
---
```

Followed by the agent's system prompt in Markdown.

## Naming Conventions
- Filename: `kebab-case.md` (e.g., `code-reviewer.md`)
- Name field: same as filename without extension
- Description: starts with a verb (e.g., "Reviews code for...")

## Agent Categories
- Core Dev: frontend-dev, backend-dev, kraken, spark, devops
- Review & QA: code-reviewer, security-reviewer, verifier, qa-engineer
- Domain Experts: graphql-expert, kubernetes-expert, ddd-expert
- Architecture: architect, planner, clean-arch-expert
- Testing: tdd-guide, e2e-runner, arbiter, mocksmith
- Analysis: scout, sleuth, data-analyst, profiler

## Quality Rules
- Every agent must have a clear, specific purpose
- Avoid overlapping responsibilities between agents
- Keep system prompts focused and actionable
- Include specific output format expectations

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add vibeeval/vibecosystem/.cursor/rules/agent-development.mdc@sha256:bf72891afd960efd

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260330.cd5da78, 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.
