load-context-instructions

Detect active execution mode and load Rosetta bootstrap instructions accordingly.

8 stars

Best use case

load-context-instructions is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.

Detect active execution mode and load Rosetta bootstrap instructions accordingly.

Teams using load-context-instructions should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.

When to use this skill

  • You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.

When not to use this skill

  • You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
  • You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

SKILL.md Source

<load-context-instructions>

<prerequisites>

- OPERATION_MANAGER is in use for deterministic execution

</prerequisites>

<mode-detection>

- If `RUNNING AS A PLUGIN` is in context → Plugin mode
- Else if `get_context_instructions` tool is available → MCP mode
- Else → Fallback mode

</mode-detection>

<plugin-mode>

1. Instructions already loaded via startup hook — `get_context_instructions` is complete; do NOT call Rosetta MCP
2. Create todo tasks using OPERATION_MANAGER
3. Locate and execute ALL `ph-prep` plan steps from loaded bootstrap rules in full
4. Gate: DO NOT proceed to any action until all ph-prep steps confirmed complete

</plugin-mode>

<mcp-mode>

1. Call `get_context_instructions` MCP tool — blocking gate, do not proceed until complete
2. If output truncated and file path provided — read the entire file; preview is NOT enough
3. Create todo tasks using OPERATION_MANAGER 
4. Execute ALL `ph-prep` steps upserted by returned instructions — no skipping, no partial execution
5. Gate: DO NOT proceed to any action until all ph-prep steps confirmed complete

</mcp-mode>

<fallback-mode>

1. Find and load the following files from the repository: `bootstrap.md`, `bootstrap-core-policy.md`, `bootstrap-execution-policy.md`, `bootstrap-guardrails.md`, `bootstrap-rosetta-files.md`. Skip any that are missing.  
2. List `docs/*.md` and workspace root `*.md` files to gather context

</fallback-mode>

<next-steps>

- Read project context 
- MUST USE SKILL `load-context`

</next-steps>

from griddynamics/rosetta

Rosetta testing skill for thorough, isolated, idempotent tests with 80% minimum coverage, external-only mocking, and scenario-driven testing. Use when writing or updating tests.

tech-specs

8
from griddynamics/rosetta

Rosetta skill for defining clear, testable tech specifications from requirements. Use when creating implementation-ready documentation that defines the target state architecture, contracts, and interfaces.

subagent-contract

8
from griddynamics/rosetta

Rosetta MUST skill. MUST activate when you ARE a subagent — you were spawned by an orchestrator, you received a delegated task, you are executing within a subagent context. Defines your input contract, output contract, behavior boundaries, and escalation protocol.

specflow-use

8
from griddynamics/rosetta

Connect Rosetta locally with Grid Dynamics SpecFlow MCP. Trigger only when the user mentions SpecFlow or SpecFlow workspaces and if SpecFlow MCP is already installed.

sensitive-data

8
from griddynamics/rosetta

Rosetta CRITICAL MUST skill. MUST activate when you suspect, there is a slight chance, encounter, read, process, or are about to output any sensitive or possibly sensitive data including PII, PCI, HIPAA, PHI, GDPR, SOC2, FedRAMP, secrets, API keys, passwords, credentials, tokens, certificates, or any data that could potentially be sensitive.

self-organization

8
from griddynamics/rosetta

Rosetta MUST skill for proactive planning, large-file restructuring (~500+ lines or 10K+ size), cleanup of stale information. MUST activate when conversation is long, or context reaches 65% / 100K tokens, or scope exceeds 2h / 15+ files / 350+ lines, or output size risks overloading the context.
