codebase-context-builder SKILL.md skillA

codebase-context-builder from latestaiagents/agent-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add latestaiagents/agent-skills/codebase-context-builder@git:20261104.9adbc3a

Pins git:20261104.9adbc3a in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use this skill when preparing context for AI coding assistants. Activate when the user wants to help AI understand their codebase, provide better context for code generation, improve AI responses, create context files, set up CLAUDE.md or similar context documents, or optimize prompts for code tasks.

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

# Codebase Context Builder

Prepare optimal context so AI assistants understand your codebase deeply.

## When to Use

- Setting up a new project for AI-assisted development
- AI assistant generates code that doesn't fit your patterns
- Creating CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, or similar context files
- Preparing context for complex code generation tasks
- Improving AI understanding of your architecture

## The Context Hierarchy

```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Level 1: Project Context (Always Load)  │
│ - Tech stack, conventions, structure    │
│ - CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md files           │
└─────────────────────────────────────────┘
                    ↓
┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Level 2: Domain Context (Task-Specific) │
│ - Related files, types, interfaces      │
│ - Existing patterns to follow           │
└─────────────────────────────────────────┘
                    ↓
┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Level 3: Task Context (Per-Request)     │
│ - Specific requirements                 │
│ - Examples of expected output           │

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add latestaiagents/agent-skills/codebase-context-builder@sha256:50235663f99c49b2

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261104.9adbc3a, 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.
