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 Guard contributor rules

Agent Guard is a boundary guard, not an agent orchestrator. Keep these layers
separate:

- the portable shell CLI owns policy evaluation, scanning, redaction, exit
  codes, and dependency diagnostics;
- host adapters (Claude, Codex, Git hooks, and GitHub Actions) translate their
  native event into the CLI contract and must not duplicate policy logic;
- sub-agent and legacy Task events are inputs to the same boundary checks, not
  permission to bypass them.

Before adding code, follow this minimum-complexity ladder: reuse an existing
path, use POSIX shell or an installed system tool, use a host-native feature,
and add a new dependency only when the preceding options cannot provide the
required security guarantee. Never simplify away validation, redaction,
fail-closed behavior, or cleanup merely to reduce lines.

Every adapter change must preserve safe pass-through behavior for unknown
events, explicit infrastructure-failure policy, and the distinction between a
clean scan and a scan that could not run. Add a fixture for each supported host
and run `tests/run.sh` before declaring the change complete.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jeongjaesoon/agent-guard/AGENTS.md@sha256:87181a636c1eb949

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261101.da1e4b8, 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.
