Load an ALIVE walnut -- read kernel files, show current state, surface one observation, ask what to work on.
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
# Load Walnut Load a walnut's context. Read the brief pack, resolve people, surface one observation, ask what to work on. ## If No Walnut Named List available walnuts grouped by domain. Use terminal to run: ```bash find "$ALIVE_WORLD_ROOT" -name "key.md" -path "*/_kernel/*" | grep -v "01_Archive" | sort ``` Show as a numbered list. Let the user pick. ## Brief Pack (3 files) Read these three files for the named walnut. Nothing else at this stage. 1. `_kernel/key.md` -- full (identity, people, links, rhythm) 2. `_kernel/now.json` -- full (phase, bundles, tasks, sessions, blockers) 3. `_kernel/insights.md` -- first 20 lines only (frontmatter, section names) Show what you read: ``` > key.md [walnut name] -- [type], [rhythm], [N] people > now.json Phase: [phase]. Urgent: [N] / Active: [N]. Bundles: [N] active. > insights.md [N] domain knowledge sections ``` ## Spotted One observation grounded in what you just read. A stale blocker, an urgent task that has been sitting, a bundle with no recent sessions. If nothing genuine, skip it. ## Then Ask ``` [walnut name] Goal: [from key.md] Phase: [from now.json] …

How to install
mdr add alivecontext/alive/alive-load@sha256:3bbaa2f273b83172The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
