Use before starting pipeline work on a Ready feature the agent hasn't worked yet. Triggers — "/engineer.prime-context", "prime context", "load context before we start", "get up to speed on feature X".
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
# prime-context
Load working memory before pipeline work on a Ready feature — the convergent counterpart to `discuss`. Forked from `superpowers:brainstorming` but inverted: no exploration, just loading and orienting. Produces no artifact.
## When to use
A prep step (not a checkpoint) between `feature-init` and `discover-acs`, on any feature the agent hasn't already worked this session.
**Skip when:** the agent just created the feature this session (context already warm). **Not for:** exploring whether a feature is worth doing (`discuss`).
## Workflow
1. **Resolve + locate** — resolve the methodology root + manifest via `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/dae_resolve.py` (see `references/resolving.md`); locate the feature (slug arg or branch name). Reject if no folder / no `feature.md`. **Layout disambiguation:** if the project has BOTH a `features/NNN-*/` and a `specs/NNN-*/` tree (a speckit migration in progress), state which holds this feature's artifacts; and if more than one acceptance-IR convention is present (`features/NNN/.build/spec.json` vs an `acceptance-pipeline/ir/` per-GWT layout), name the one this feature uses — so the load doesn't rediscover the split ad-hoc…

How to install
mdr add swingerman/engineer/prime-context@sha256:6ea19461d5817775The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260710.5dd248a, 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.
