progressive-loading SKILL.md skillA

progressive-loading from athola/claude-night-market is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add athola/claude-night-market/progressive-loading@git:20261028.7246d08

Pins git:20261028.7246d08 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Implements hub-and-spoke lazy loading to minimize token usage in large skills. Use when building multi-module skills that need conditional on-demand loading.

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

# Progressive Loading Patterns

## Overview

Progressive loading provides standardized patterns for building skills that load modules dynamically based on context, user intent, and available token budget. This prevents loading unnecessary content while ensuring required functionality is available when needed.

The core principle: **Start minimal, expand intelligently, monitor continuously.**

## When To Use

Use progressive loading when building skills that:
- Cover multiple distinct workflows or domains
- Need to manage context window efficiently
- Have modules that are mutually exclusive based on context
- Require MECW compliance for long-running sessions
- Want to optimize for common paths while supporting edge cases

## When NOT To Use

- Project doesn't use the leyline infrastructure patterns
- Simple scripts without service architecture needs

## Quick Start

### Basic Hub Pattern

```markdown
## Progressive Loading

**Context A**: Load `modules/loading-patterns.md` for scenario A
**Context B**: Load `modules/selection-strategies.md` for scenario B

**Always Available**: Core utilities, exit criteria, integration points
```

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add athola/claude-night-market/progressive-loading@sha256:4f81366824a0f49a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261028.7246d08, 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.
