Reload durable memory, active work, and repository reality before editing.
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
## OBJECTIVE Reconstruct the current task, repository state, and relevant constraints before editing. Load only the depth the task earns. ## CONTEXT DEPTH - **Light:** narrow question or one-file fix; authority, Git state, target file, and its direct test. - **Standard:** normal feature or bugfix; add architecture, dependencies, direct callers, and related tests. - **Full:** cross-module design, migration, release, or resumed long-running work; include roadmap, generated/deployed surfaces, operational evidence, and relevant durable memory. Do not turn context loading into a repository-wide reading exercise. ## Workflow ### 1. Resolve the Real Workspace - Find the repository root and current working directory. - Record the branch, upstream relation, working-tree status, staged changes, and recent commits. - Preserve unrelated dirty work. Treat unknown modifications as concurrent user or worker work until proven otherwise. ### 2. Load Authority Read applicable instruction sources in precedence order: 1. repository `AGENTS.md` and nested `AGENTS.md` files; 2. project-owned rule/config files referenced by those instructions; …

How to install
mdr add lyther/agent-surface/boot-context@sha256:5f4a5acef71a4a8dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260920.f7617b0, 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.
