Keep a project's CONTEXT.md glossary and docs/adr/ decision records current as understanding settles: add a glossary entry when a term resolves, an ADR only when its three-condition gate fires. Use after architectural discussions or when terms drift. Trigger on "update the glossary", "record this as an ADR", "what do we call this", "document this decision".
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
# maintain-context Incrementally maintain two artifacts as conversations happen: `CONTEXT.md` (the project's domain glossary) and `docs/adr/` (decision records). Both compound in value only if you keep them honest, narrow, and rare. > **Ownership.** This skill owns `docs/adr/` exclusively (as a directory, so it takes precedence over pattern ownership) plus the `CONTEXT.md` glossary file. `docs/adr/` is an explicit carve-out from `docs-agent`'s broader `docs/` ownership — without it, `docs/` would silently swallow the ADR subtree. `docs-agent` reads `docs/adr/` for context but never writes there. See the canonical map in the orchestrator's `references/file-ownership.md`. ## The three-condition ADR gate Before writing an ADR, all three must be true. Miss any one and skip — the next ADR will not be a worse decision because this one wasn't recorded. 1. **Hard to reverse.** Rolling back costs real time or money. Schema migrations, public API shapes, vendor lock-in, contractual commitments. Reversible defaults (a flag, a CSS choice, a folder name) don't qualify. …

How to install
mdr add ivy00johns/skill-madness/maintain-context@sha256:0e40c0eb489b8bf9The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.3.1, 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.
