Use when a developer wants to inspect, prepare, refresh, query, or understand bounded repository context without loading or indexing the full codebase into the model context.
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
# Prepare Repo Context Prepare reusable local repository context with deterministic tooling while keeping the model context small. Let `<skill-dir>` be this skill's directory. Resolve the repository, then resolve `<python>` to `python3` or a Python 3 `python`. If Git or Python 3 is unavailable, report the missing prerequisite; do not install anything. 0. If the `repo-context` MCP tools (`inspect`, `build`, `repository_map`, `search_symbols`, `search_docs`, `source_snippets`, `related_symbols`, `changed_symbols`, `impact_candidates`, `repository_overview`, exposed by this plugin's bundled server) are available in this session, use them for the inspect, build, and query steps below instead of the script: the tool arguments mirror the script's flags and the results are the same objects. The consent rules do not change: pass `confirm_state_write: true` to `build` only after the user approved writing state in this conversation. `activate`, `gc`, `remove`, and `hook` are script-only; run them as described here. …

How to install
mdr add phalegethon/the-agentic-fieldbook/prepare-repo-context@sha256:a9acbb8f14874cadThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.10.0, 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.
