Use when a long session has accumulated stale or conflicting context or the user asks to refresh it. Not for remote, credential, publish, deploy, or irreversible changes.

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 engineering

## Contract

| Field | Bound contract |
|---|---|
| Trigger | Long session has accumulated stale or conflicting context, or the user asks to refresh or recheck context before continuing. |
| Authority | Reversible local: writes only an optional scratch state note; rollback is undo. No remote mutation. |
| Side effect | Optional scratch state note only; no project files touched. |
| Done | Acting context is provably current and minimal; stale items are dropped with the user informed. |

## Inputs

- The current acting context present in the session: stated facts, assumptions, inferred file state, and prior decisions.
- The source of truth for each item being rechecked: repository files, tool output, or user-stated ground truth.
- Optional: a user-named subset to recheck. If omitted, recheck the full acting context.

## Procedure

1. Enumerate every item in the acting context: stated facts, assumptions, inferred file state, and prior decisions. Done when: every acting-context item is enumerated.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add outlinedriven/outline-driven-development/context-engineering@sha256:d43afa075ba1f94f

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260912.5c5b759, 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.
