context-engineering SKILL.md skillA

context-engineering from gastonchevarria/god-mode is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned

mdr add gastonchevarria/god-mode/context-engineering@git:20261014.522e28a

Pins git:20261014.522e28a in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Sets up agent context: rules files, CLAUDE.md, what to load per task. Use when starting a project or session, switching tasks, or when output quality degrades.

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
├─────────────────────────────────────┤

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add gastonchevarria/god-mode/context-engineering@sha256:cf9237c685721afa

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.522e28a, 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.
