filesystem-context SKILL.md skillA
filesystem-context from docxology/template is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add docxology/template/filesystem-context@git:20260713.397aa15Pins git:20260713.397aa15 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

This skill should be used when agent work needs file-backed context: durable scratchpads, tool-output offloading, just-in-time discovery, cross-agent handoff files, filesystem memory, or cleanup policies for context stored outside the prompt.
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
# Filesystem-Based Context Engineering Use the filesystem as the primary overflow layer for agent context because context windows are limited while tasks often require more information than fits in a single window. Files let agents store, retrieve, and update an effectively unlimited amount of context through a single interface. Prefer dynamic context discovery -- pulling relevant context on demand -- over static inclusion, because static context consumes tokens regardless of relevance and crowds out space for task-specific information. ## When to Activate Activate this skill when: - Tool outputs are bloating the context window - Agents need to persist state across long trajectories - Sub-agents must share information without direct message passing - Tasks require more context than fits in the window - Building agents that learn and update their own instructions - Implementing scratch pads for intermediate results - Terminal outputs or logs need to be accessible to agents Do not activate this skill for adjacent work owned by other skills: - Semantic cross-session memory, entity tracking, or temporal knowledge graphs: `memory-systems`. …

How to install
mdr add docxology/template/filesystem-context@sha256:16495df022fa9125The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260713.397aa15, 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.
