Invoke when deciding what to load into context, what to persist across turns or sessions, and what to drop — reads only what the task needs, writes durable handoffs, avoids context pollution, and chooses when to re-derive versus recall.
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
# Context & Memory Hygiene > Status: v0.1 baseline draft — derived from the case catalog and axis definitions; awaiting trace evidence from Fable 5.1 case runs. ## When to apply - You are about to read files, dump logs, or pull in references and must decide how much to actually load. - The context window is filling and older content is at risk of being crowded out or compacted. - A session will resume later, or hand off to another agent, and state must survive the boundary. - You are unsure whether to trust a remembered value or re-derive it from the current source. - You caught yourself loading a whole file/log/repo to use one function or one line from it. - Work spans multiple sessions and you need a durable record that is not the transcript itself. ## Core loop 1. **State what the current step actually needs.** Before loading anything, name the specific fact, symbol, or slice the next action requires. "I need the signature of `parseConfig`", not "I need the config module". The need defines the read, not the file size. 2. **Read the minimum that satisfies the need.** …

How to install
mdr add rlaope/ultraprompt/context-memory-hygiene@sha256:207ead854d1c4bb1The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260915.a5ced99, 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.
