Author and maintain the MAW project-context overlay (`maw/project-context/`) — the project knowledge the pipeline injects into agents. Use when the user says "add project context", "set up MAW for this project", "register a project invariant / rule / lesson / tool / skill / domain for the pipeline", or "review MAW context proposals". Supports flag: --review to go straight to folding pending PCTX_PROPOSALS.md entries.

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

# MAW Project Context

You maintain the project-context overlay for the MAW pipeline. This is the **only** place project-specific knowledge lives — the base pipeline (`maw-execute-task`, `maw-tasks`, `agents/*.md`) stays 100% generic and never contains project text.

## What the overlay is

Three tiers, each gated on a different axis. Conflating them is the mistake to avoid.

Shared-memory paths, access rules, the `log.jsonl` schema, post-spawn lifecycle, and continuity rules belong only to the base `maw-execute-task` skill. Never duplicate or override them in project context.

1. **`maw/project-context/README.md` — CONSTANT, every agent, every stage.** The orchestrator injects it into every spawn with the `{PCTX}` placeholder substituted to the real path (so it is *near*-verbatim, not pure-verbatim). It holds only what is true regardless of subsystem or stage: a short orientation, universal invariants, and a **domain catalog**. It is paid on every spawn, so it is bounded by deliberate discipline, not "free".

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add pockerhead/maw/maw-context@sha256:bb2e9b6357610a16

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260904.b619569, 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.
