Optimizes agent context setup. Use when starting a new session,.

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 Engineering

## Overview

Feed agents the right information at the right time. Context is the single biggest lever for agent output quality — too little and the agent hallucinates, too much and it loses focus. Context engineering is the practice of deliberately curating what the agent sees, when it sees it, and how it's structured.

## When to Use

- Starting a new coding session
- Agent output quality is declining (wrong patterns, hallucinated APIs, ignoring conventions)
- Switching between different parts of a codebase
- Setting up a new project for AI-assisted development
- The agent is not following project conventions

## The Context Hierarchy

Structure context from most persistent to most transient:

```
┌─────────────────────────────────────┐
│  1. Rules Files (CLAUDE.md, etc.)   │ ← Always loaded, project-wide
├─────────────────────────────────────┤
│  2. Spec / Architecture Docs        │ ← Loaded per feature/session
├─────────────────────────────────────┤
│  3. Relevant Source Files            │ ← Loaded per task
├─────────────────────────────────────┤
│  4. Error Output / Test Results      │ ← Loaded per iteration
├─────────────────────────────────────┤
