ARIA context surfacing — /context and /rules. Use whenever the user asks to load knowledge by topic, references a tag, or asks 'what do we know about X' or 'look up rule N'. Also fires the implicit task-start tag match described in AGENTS.md.
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
# ARIA — Context & Rules Skills
This file ports the `/context` and `/rules` skill instructions for the Cursor port. Triggers are natural-language ("when the user asks to load knowledge about X", "look up rule N") in addition to the slash-command names.

## /context
# /context — On-Demand Knowledge Retrieval
Query the knowledge tag index and load relevant promoted files into the conversation context.
## Step 0: Resolve Config
Read `.cursor/aria-knowledge.local.md` and extract:
- `knowledge_folder` — required
- `projects_enabled` — default `false`
- `projects_list` — default empty (only relevant if `projects_enabled: true`)
- `projects_shared_knowledge` — default empty; comma-separated list of project tags enabled for shared knowledge. When non-empty, also surface team-shared files indexed under `## Team-Shared Tag Index`. Tags not in this list are not surfaced even if they appear in the index.
Parse `projects_list` into a tag→path map. The format is comma-separated `tag:path` pairs (e.g., `proj-a:path/to/proj-a,proj-b:proj-b`). Tags are used to identify project-specific files; paths are not used by `/context` (they're for CWD detection in other skills).

How to install
mdr add mikeprasad/aria-knowledge/plugin-cursor-template/.cursor/rules/aria-context.mdc@sha256:d495ebc02e7efe01The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260916.776aff2, 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.
