establishing-project-context skillA
establishing-project-context is agent-read markdown (skill) from ganyuanran/aegis: Use when the user asks to establish shared project language, or project work exposes a conflicting, renamed, or deprecated domain term that needs active semantic modeling. Routine small tasks stay on the fast path..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
What the file says
# Establishing Project Context ## Overview Maintain project domain language in `CONTEXT.md` so humans and agents use the same canonical terms. This skill is the single active-modeling and write-policy owner; it does not own passive glossary reads. `CONTEXT.md` is terminology infrastructure, not Aegis governance, architecture, requirements, task state, session memory, or runtime authority. Those retain their current project owners. ## Passive Consumption vs Active Modeling Passive consumption is a cheap habit of the task-owning workflow: 1. For non-trivial project work, check `CONTEXT-MAP.md`, then relevant root or bounded-context `CONTEXT.md` files when present. 2. Read only relevant active terms and relationships; index first when large. 3. Treat open ambiguities as unresolved data, not active truth. 4. Continue the owning workflow without loading this skill. Load this skill only for active modeling when at least one signal exists: - a newly resolved domain concept - a vague, overloaded, or conflicting term - an approved rename, merge, deprecation, or meaning change - authority, code, tests, or public language contradict the glossary …

How to install
mdr add ganyuanran/aegis/establishing-project-context@git:20260809.f62395bmdr add ganyuanran/aegis/establishing-project-context@sha256:9988bbfaa48a266aPin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
