Generate or update a CONTEXT.md file that formalises the domain-specific language for a project — capturing shared terminology used by the codebase, developers, and domain experts. Trigger when the user says "generate a CONTEXT.md", "create a context file", "let's define our domain language", "formalise our terminology", or when a project is already underway and the user wants to capture the vocabulary that has accumulated across conversations, code, and notes. Also trigger when the user says…
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
# /build-context
Generates a `CONTEXT.md` — a living glossary that aligns three groups around shared language: the codebase, the developers building it, and the domain experts who understand the problem. When all three speak the same vocabulary, communication becomes precise and the code reflects reality.
Run this at any point in a project. The earlier it's established, the better — but mid-project is fine too. The output is a versioned, editable file that grows with the project.

## Process
### 1. Gather context
Before writing anything, collect material from every available source:
**Conversation history**
Scan the current conversation (and search past conversations if the tool is available) for:
- Named concepts, entities, or things that are referred to consistently
- Terms that appear in quotes or with implicit special meaning ("the funnel", "a click", "a subscriber")
- Any place where a term was clarified or corrected mid-conversation
- Phrases that sound domain-specific but were never formally defined
**Memory**
Check the user's memory for project-specific context — stack names, system names, company structure, role descriptions, known domain vocabulary.
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add birdsigh/skills/build-context@sha256:1a48db37d6dadce4The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260814.edbff2b, 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.
