Splits an over-loaded always-loaded context asset (SKILL.md, CLAUDE.md, memory index) into a lean resident layer plus an on-demand layer, by when content is needed rather than by length, linked by imperative pointers. Alias: skill-splitter. Triggers: "SKILL.md too large", "split this skill", "skill is bloated", "skill file too long", "CLAUDE.md 너무 커".

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

# salience-splitter — Governance-Semantic Context Split

> **Renamed from `skill-splitter` (2026-07-05).** Old-name references still route here. The rename reflects
> the generalized scope: the split criterion applies to **any always-loaded context asset** — a SKILL.md,
> a CLAUDE.md, or a memory index — not only skills. The label now names the substance (salience-tiering of
> always-loaded context), not one instance of it. Dogfood: applied to a memory index 2026-07-05.

> An always-loaded asset that holds everything in one layer is not simple — it is unscoped.
> The goal is a lean always-loaded layer + an on-demand layer, not one file and its appendix.

**Scope (all three share one criterion — salience: what must be in attention every load):**
- **SKILL.md** → always-loaded SKILL.md + on-demand `SKILL_detail.md`
- **CLAUDE.md** → lean rules + on-demand detail docs (imperative `> **Detail**: See …` pointers)
- **memory index** → hot `MEMORY.md` + on-demand `MEMORY_archive.md` (cold/closed/superseded entries)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add chrono-meta/forge-harness/salience-splitter@sha256:4b5a66a02efbf575

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260902.3a4769c, 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.
