Dynamic context injection, mode switching (dev/review/research), selective loading, and strategic compaction for token optimization.

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

- Load: architecture docs, active code files, test files, recent changes
- Skip: historical discussions, completed milestones, research notes
- Priority: implementation speed

### Review Mode
- Load: code diff, coding standards, security rules, test coverage
- Skip: architecture docs, planning notes, research
- Priority: thoroughness and accuracy

### Research Mode
- Load: requirements, existing patterns, external research, alternatives
- Skip: implementation details, test files, CI configs
- Priority: breadth of information

## Dynamic Injection
- Detect project context automatically (language, framework, tools)
- Load relevant skills based on detected context
- Inject domain-specific patterns and conventions
- Adjust tool allowlists per context mode

## Selective Loading
- Load only files relevant to the current task
- Use glob patterns to scope file reading
- Prioritize recently modified files
- Skip binary files and generated code

## Strategic Compaction
- Monitor context token usage
- Suggest compression for resolved/completed items
- Archive to memory files (activeContext, patterns, progress)
- Pre-compaction state preservation

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add a5c-ai/babysitter/context-engineering@sha256:f5d2a9c6ef7c59bc

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260601.da7723a, 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.
