context-minimization skillA

context-minimization is agent-read markdown (skill) from yeaight7/agent-powerups: 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..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns 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.
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

Latest version
mdr add yeaight7/agent-powerups/context-minimization@git:20260606.e89c95e
Exact content
mdr add yeaight7/agent-powerups/context-minimization@sha256:dcc93a6c36714d01

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
