Use at the start of /research and other workflow recipes to establish vault grounding. Loads vault bootstrap (profile.md), checks inbox, and pre-warms project context if a topic anchor is implied. Repo/git detection lands with /plan and /implement.
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 Context Call this once at the start of a workflow recipe to establish working context. In `/research`, this is the vault grounding pre-step — it loads the context that informs downstream web queries. ## Steps 1. Call `mcp__dossier-mcp__get_vault_context`. This loads `profile.md` silently — do not summarize or recite it. 2. Call `mcp__dossier-mcp__list_notes(path: "inbox")`. If the inbox is non-empty, surface a one-line nudge to the user: `Inbox has N notes — worth processing before we start?` 3. If the user has supplied a research topic with a clear project anchor (e.g. "relocation healthcare costs" → `projects/relocation`), call `mcp__dossier-mcp__list_notes(path: "projects/<slug>")` to pre-warm topic context. Skip if no anchor is obvious — `vault-researcher` will find what it needs. ## Output No structured return value. Context loads into the conversation. The recipe continues to its next step. ## Future scope (not in Phase 1) - Repo / vault / mixed environment detection - `git status` snapshot for the working dir

How to install
mdr add ethanaubuchon/dossier-tradecraft/load-context@sha256:9ba2755b543ca102The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260509.64f65b9, 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.
