context-check SKILL.md skillA
context-check from tmusser/ai-engineering-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add tmusser/ai-engineering-skills/context-check@git:20260626.1692c35Pins git:20260626.1692c35 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Detect context drift, rehydration loops, hypothesis sprawl, scope creep, active-mode loss, and durable-state gaps. Recommend the smallest corrective action.
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 Check ## Purpose Keep sessions cheap, bounded, and durable. Detect distortion early and recommend minimal correction. ## When to use Passive guardrail. Speak **only** on medium/high risk (or when explicitly invoked). Low risk: stay silent **unless explicitly invoked**. If explicitly invoked on low risk, output one line: `CONTEXT RISK: low — continue.` Trigger on repeated facts, scope/hypothesis changes, multiple debug hypotheses, handoff pressure, or active modes that may need to persist. ## Inputs - Current conversation - Durable state files if present - Current task, phase, loop, and active modes if known - Current debugging hypothesis if debugging - Where to record the result when the check is medium/high risk ## Workflow 1. Scan for risk signals (repeated premises, history restatement, scope drift, hypothesis sprawl, weak durable state, active-mode loss). 2. Assign risk: low / medium / high. 3. Recommend exactly one best move. For medium/high risk, prefer: scope-freeze | update durable state | handoff | diagnose-loop | restart. Use `continue` only for explicit low-risk checks. …

How to install
mdr add tmusser/ai-engineering-skills/context-check@sha256:83557af21f1bf54fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260626.1692c35, 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.
