context-and-continuity SKILL.md skillA
context-and-continuity from tylerjrbuell/reactive-agents-ts is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add tylerjrbuell/reactive-agents-ts/context-and-continuity@v2.0Pins v2.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Manage context pressure, configure message windowing, and use checkpoint tools to preserve critical findings across context compaction.
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
# Context and Continuity
## Agent objective
Produce an agent that survives long tasks without losing key findings — correct windowing configuration, explicit checkpoint tool usage, and cross-session memory where needed.
## When to load this skill
- Task is long-running (10+ iterations expected)
- Agent must preserve intermediate results across context pressure events
- Agent needs to resume work across sessions
- Task involves accumulating findings that must survive to the final answer
## Implementation baseline
```ts
const agent = await ReactiveAgents.create()
.withProvider("anthropic")
.withReasoning({ defaultStrategy: "adaptive", maxIterations: 20 })
.withTools({
allowedTools: ["web-search", "file-read", "checkpoint", "recall", "find"],
})
.withMemory({ tier: "enhanced", dbPath: "./agent.db" })
.withSystemPrompt(`
You are a research assistant.
Use the checkpoint tool to save key findings before moving on.
Call checkpoint() with no args to review what you've saved.
`)
.build();
```
## Key patterns
### Using the checkpoint tool
The `checkpoint` tool has three modes:
```ts
// SAVE — persist a named finding

How to install
mdr add tylerjrbuell/reactive-agents-ts/context-and-continuity@sha256:32f81aba1ebb206fThe line at the top of this page pins the label v2.0, 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.
