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.
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
# 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@sha256:9988bbfaa48a266aThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260809.f62395b, 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.
