Resolves and records one external evidence source required by a current design or verification decision. Use when repository and supplied evidence cannot determine that 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

# External Resource Context

## Purpose

This skill resolves a concrete external evidence dependency for a current design or verification decision, records its stable access method, and lets later consumers reuse that evidence.

Potential resources include design origin, design system, API or database schema sources, IaC, and verification environments. A workflow selects only the resource axis needed by its current decision.

## Scope Boundaries

**In scope**: resolving a named external evidence need, storage location, single-source ownership, and lookup of a known resource.

**Freshness handling**: record access methods and feature identifiers here. The consuming workflow checks current resource content at use time.

## Storage Locations

| Tier | Location | Holds | Update Frequency |
|------|----------|-------|------------------|
| Project | `docs/project-context/external-resources.md` | Environment-stable facts: resource labels, presence, and access methods | When the project environment changes |
| Feature | `## External Resources Used` section in the relevant UI Spec or Design Doc | Feature-specific identifiers that reference project-tier labels | Per feature |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add shinpr/codex-workflows/external-resource-context@sha256:fdb19fa392b378e9

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260915.0c8f517, 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.
