Use when a task runs long and the context window is filling -- large files are being read whole, command output is flooding the transcript, or responses are getting verbose and slow.
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
## Purpose Your context window is the most precious resource. Large contexts make you slow, expensive, and prone to hallucinations. Treat every token read or written as a cost, and apply a continuous discipline: read less, output less, keep the window lean. ## When to Use - Continuously during any long, multi-step task - About to open a large file (hundreds or thousands of lines) - A command is about to emit massive logs (installs, verbose builds) - Responses are drifting into explanation and restatement ## Inputs - The current task and the files/commands it requires - Awareness of which files are large enough to need targeted reads ## Workflow 1. **Before reading: search, do not slurp.** Never read a 2,000-line file whole. Locate the relevant region first, then read only that range. ```bash grep -n "functionName" src/module.ts # find the line numbers ``` Then read only the surrounding window (e.g. lines 120-160), not the entire file. 2. **While reading: parallelize, do not serialize.** If you need to inspect 3 files, issue 3 reads/searches in a single turn rather than one per turn. Fewer turns means less context repetition. …

How to install
mdr add yeaight7/agent-powerups/context-minimization@sha256:dcc93a6c36714d01The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260606.e89c95e, 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.
