context-engineering SKILL.md skillA

context-engineering from int2t05/engineering-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add int2t05/engineering-skills/context-engineering@git:20261015.f440cbb

Pins git:20261015.f440cbb in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Assemble relevant context or explain an existing code path. Triggers on "agent lacks context", "解释这段代码".

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 Engineering

## When to use

- Assemble relevant context or explain an existing code path.

**Not for:** handoff for transferring work; research for external investigation.

## Steps

1. Choose explanation or execution-context mode and identify audience and exact question.

2. Trace actual definitions, callers, entry points and tests; distinguish instructions from external or quoted data.

3. Explain purpose, inputs, meaningful calls and outputs, or provide task goals, constraints, selected paths and verification commands.

4. Reconcile conflicts or ask about unresolved decisions; preserve confirmed context during compaction.

## Verify

- Symbols and paths exist; the explanation follows actual calls and avoids irrelevant repository dumps.

## References

- [engineering-principles.md](../../../references/engineering-principles.md) — shared decision boundaries, scope and verification.
- [references/context-strategies.md](references/context-strategies.md) — context packing strategies (brain dump, selective include, hierarchical summary), MCP integration table, anti-patterns.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add int2t05/engineering-skills/context-engineering@sha256:1e1e6ae06c19a4e2

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261015.f440cbb, 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.
