KNOWLEDGE — use when choosing resident, map-only, or on-demand context.
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 Residency **Composition:** Load with `nw-cross-cutting-invariants`; no forced sequence; return to its routing table for other concerns. ## `context:pay-on-demand-not-every-session` — resident context is paid every session (STANDING) **Whoever needs it loads it; whoever does not need it must not pay for it in every session.** Context injected at session start is a per-session tax on every reader, including the readers who will never touch that subject. Detail belongs where it is needed, at the moment it is needed — not resident. Three residency classes; classify before you inject anything: - **MUST-BE-RESIDENT** — if it is absent from context, it does not happen. The load-bearing case is a **trigger**: an instruction to arm, to check, to refuse. Nobody goes looking for what they do not know exists, so a trigger cannot be made reachable-on-demand — its absence is silent. Same for a safety warning whose omission causes harm before anyone would think to consult it. - **MAP-ONLY** — the reader must know THAT a thing exists and roughly WHEN to reach for it. Not how it works. A name plus a one-line "reach for this when…" is the whole resident cost. …

How to install
mdr add nwave-ai/nwave/nw-cross-cutting-context-residency@sha256:79b09258d987b048The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261102.c67d57b, 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.
