Inspect context drift and refresh selected source-backed documents under existing authorization.

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

# context-check

Inspect context drift or refresh selected source-backed documents. This includes
drift from a merge or external edit that commit-gate's Phase 5.5 auto-heal did
not cover, and an explicitly requested full refresh of initialized context.

This skill is NOT in the daily loop. Commit-gate auto-heal (Phase 5.5,
`heal_worklist` for v1 and `v2_heal_worklist` for managed pairs) owns routine
maintenance. Reuse existing selection and
authorization for requested refresh; an audit-only request remains read-only.

<!-- catalog-compatibility-notice:start -->
> Compatibility route. Prefer `{{CMD:status}} drift` for new explicit usage. The retained entry
> and natural-language intent use this owner under
> {{PLUGIN_ROOT}}/includes/command-compatibility.md.
<!-- catalog-compatibility-notice:end -->

## Entry boundaries

Use this owner for a requested provenance drift audit, `{{CMD:status}} drift`, or
the explicit `{{CMD:context-check}}` compatibility entry. Explanation-only questions
and ordinary status snapshots remain read-only answers, not repair requests.
Report first for an audit-only request. A direct request to refresh selected

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add arbiterforge/codearbiter/context-check@sha256:0a6190445bcdbcac

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.79d996f, 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.
