Ask Copilot what files it needs to see before answering a question.

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

# What Context Do You Need?

Before answering my question, tell me what files you need to see.

## My Question

{{question}}

## Instructions

1. Based on my question, list the files you would need to examine
2. Explain why each file is relevant
3. Note any files you've already seen in this conversation
4. Identify what you're uncertain about

## Output Format

```markdown
## Files I Need

### Must See (required for accurate answer)
- `path/to/file.ts` — [why needed]

### Should See (helpful for complete answer)
- `path/to/file.ts` — [why helpful]

### Already Have
- `path/to/file.ts` — [from earlier in conversation]

### Uncertainties
- [What I'm not sure about without seeing the code]
```

After I provide these files, I'll ask my question again.

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add archubbuck/workspace-architect/what-context-needed@sha256:65ed7445bf561a5e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260423.f4df73b, 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.
