Use for an unfamiliar or consequential context operation, session journaling, handoff, or context-loss recovery; routine calls can follow the schema.

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

# Context Manual

Use the schema for routine calls; open this manual for unfamiliar workflows or recovery risk. Context has four operations:

- `summarize` records compact replacements for selected old tool results; it does not rebuild provider context.
- `rebuild` recomposes all canonical prompt sources, applies summaries, then requests provider replay. Bare `input={}` is valid; durable file edits do not hot-load. It is strongly discouraged as routine compaction, tool-result cleanup, or a ceremony after every Pad/Knowledge edit: full replay is costly, can disturb prompt-prefix cache reuse, and still retains the bulky history.
- `molt` sheds conversation while retaining durable files and stores. It is an irreversible boundary, not housekeeping, but it is the preferred deliberate response to substantial or noisy history or sustained pressure when a fresh briefing is worth its cost.
- `manual` returns the installed `context-manual` without changing context.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add lingtai-ai/lingtai-kernel/context-manual@sha256:60cfce44fd36d448

The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.4.0, 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.
