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

# CLAUDE.md — aveproject/ave

Read this file completely before touching anything.
Single source of truth for how work happens in this repo.

---

## Project

aveproject/ave — the behavioral classification standard for agentic AI components.
An independent standard that bawbel-scanner implements. NOT a feature of the scanner.

- Records: see dist/ave-records-latest.json (the count changes; do not hardcode it here)
- Schema: schema/ave-record.schema.json, the alias for the newest version; each record
  is validated against the versioned file it declares, schema/ave-record-X.Y.Z.schema.json
- Scoring: OWASP AIVSS v0.8
- Registry: aveproject.org
- Public API: api.aveproject.org
- Scanner: github.com/bawbel/scanner (reference implementation)

This repo contains DEFINITIONS, not detections.
An AVE record defines a behavioral class. A scanner Finding is one
detection that references an AVE record by ave_id.

## The critical distinction — read this twice

```
AVE Record (this repo)              Finding (scanner repo)
──────────────────────              ──────────────────────
static behavioral class definition  runtime detection instance

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add aveproject/ave/CLAUDE.md@sha256:91dcc3279ac49d2f

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261031.ec06412, 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.
