The human mentions a walnut to work on, asks about a specific venture/experiment/project, or wants to check status — not just explicit 'load X'. Load the brief pack (3 files), resolve the people involved, check the active bundle — then surface one observation and ask what to work on. Context loads in tiers: walnut and people are automatic, bundle depth is offered.
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 Load a walnut. See where things are. Work. Default: single-walnut focus. But people involved are loaded automatically (frontmatter only) — you can't work on a venture without knowing who's in it. --- ## If No Walnut Named Show available walnuts as a numbered list grouped by domain: ``` ╭─ 🐿️ pick a walnut │ │ Life │ 1. identity active Mars visa application │ 2. health quiet Sleep study results │ │ Ventures │ 3. nova-station active Orbital test window │ 4. paper-lantern quiet Menu redesign │ │ Experiments │ 5. midnight-frequency active Episode 12 edit │ 6. glass-cathedral waiting Decide: gallery or festival │ │ ▸ Number to load, or name one. ╰─ ``` --- ## Tier 1 — Brief Pack (3 files) + claim the session Read these three files. That's it — everything you need to orient. 1. `_kernel/key.md` — full file (identity, people, links, rhythm) 2. `_kernel/now.json` — full file (phase, bundle statuses with task summaries, recent sessions, nested walnut state, blockers, context paragraph) 3. `_kernel/insights.md` — frontmatter only (what domain knowledge sections exist) …

How to install
mdr add alivecontext/alive/alive:load-context@sha256:c173274084db0d0bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260511.5023f6d, 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.
