The Lossless Group's coined term and pattern — parent repos that aggregate child repos (often as git submodules) primarily to host a parent-level context-v/. Use whenever working anywhere in lossless-monorepo or its descendants, when starting any new task that might overlap with prior work, when scaffolding a new project, when the user mentions "pseudomonorepo", "submodule", "context-v", or names of the children (ai-labs, astro-knots, content-farm, tidyverse), AND ALWAYS when the user proposes…
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
# Pseudomonorepos > Not a true monorepo. Not loosely coupled either. A parent repo that adds children (often as git submodules) primarily so the parent can host a `context-v/` that aggregates context across them. ## When to use this skill - Working **anywhere** under `~/code/lossless-monorepo/` or any of its descendants - Starting any task — coding, writing a spec, drafting a prompt, debugging — that might overlap with prior work elsewhere in the tree - Scaffolding a new sub-project (where does it go? does it deserve its own pseudomonorepo level?) - User mentions "pseudomonorepo", "submodule", "the tree", or any of the named children - Considering whether to add a folder/repo as a submodule vs. inline ## The behavioral core (this is the actual skill) **Don't rush into creating.** Before writing a new spec, prompt, blueprint, doc, or substantial code: 1. **Walk the tree up.** Identify which pseudomonorepo level you're in. Walk to the root. 2. **Search prior work** at every level's `context-v/`: - Specs, blueprints, prompts, explorations, issues - Filenames (use grep/find by topic keywords) - Frontmatter tags …

How to install
mdr add lossless-group/lossless-agent-skills/pseudomonorepos@sha256:82ae825a145cda7dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260823.f9fe757, 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.
