Use when user invokes /orient with a topic keyword, entity type, project name, time qualifier, or combination. Also triggers on "what do we know about X", "remind me about X", "where did we leave off on X". Provides targeted context loading — searches the MCP Memory Server graph, knowledge files, journal entries, and research index to produce a focused orientation briefing.
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
# Topic-Focused Orientation ## Overview Produce a focused orientation briefing for a specific topic by searching across the knowledge graph, knowledge files, journal entries, and research index. Designed for targeted context loading — get only what's relevant instead of everything. **Core principles:** 1. **Targeted, not exhaustive.** Only return information related to the requested topic. 2. **Graceful degradation.** If MCP Memory Server is not connected, skip graph sections. Knowledge files and research still work. 3. **Conversation output.** Briefing goes to the conversation, not files. The user can ask to save. 4. **Token-conscious.** Output stays between ~800-2000 tokens. Orientation briefing, not document dump. ## When to Use User types `/orient` followed by: - **Topic keyword** → search everything for that topic (`membrain`, `data engineering`) - **Entity type name** → search graph for that type (`desires`, `open tensions`) - **Time qualifier** → show recent entries (`recent`, `last week`, `today`) - **Combination** → compound search (`recent membrain`, `desires and tensions`) ## Invocation Examples ``` /orient membrain /orient desires and tensions …

How to install
mdr add harnessprotocol/harness-kit/orient@sha256:e89172aa8faa33faThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261022.97b92e1, 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.
