context_reseed

context_reseed keeps a bounded continuity note and injects it as reference context at the start of future sessions.

Use it when you want lightweight handoff-style continuity without installing an external memory provider.

What It Installs

The package installs:

agent/lib/context_reseed/
agent/bootstrap/context_reseed_bootstrap/
agent/output/context_reseed_output/
agent/skills/context_reseed/

It appends a bootstrap slot to the serial bootstrap pipeline and an output slot to the serial output pipeline.

The note is stored outside package-owned component directories:

context/reseed.md

Uninstall removes package-owned component directories and pipeline entries, but leaves context/reseed.md in place.

Install

Use the interactive manager:

uv run demiurge package

Or install with subcommands:

uv run demiurge package install context_reseed --core assistant --preview
uv run demiurge package install context_reseed --core assistant

Options

Option	Default	Description
mode	explicit	explicit updates only when the user asks for a reseed, handoff, session, context, or continuity note. auto updates after each assistant output.
max_chars	1800	Maximum characters stored and injected from the note.
notice	false	Emits a transient output notice when the note is refreshed.

Example:

uv run demiurge package install context_reseed \
  --core assistant \
  --option mode=auto \
  --option max_chars=2400

Runtime Behavior

At session bootstrap, the bootstrap slot reads context/reseed.md, sanitizes the note, bounds it to max_chars, quotes it as untrusted data, and injects it as background reference context.

After assistant output, the output slot writes a new bounded note. In explicit mode it writes only when the latest user input explicitly asks for continuity, handoff, session, context, or reseed notes. In auto mode it writes after every assistant output.

The package requires:

Slot	Capability
Bootstrap	fs.read
Output	fs.write

Both slots use failure_policy: soft.

Safety Model

The stored note is treated as stale, untrusted reference data. Before injection, the package strips bidirectional controls, redacts common credential patterns, and blocks common prompt-injection phrases.

The generated note is not a source of system or developer instructions. Current user input and higher-priority instructions still win.

Verify

List installed packages:

uv run demiurge package list --core assistant

Ask for a continuity note:

Please write a context reseed note for the next session.

Then inspect:

~/.demiurge/agents/assistant/context/reseed.md

Uninstall

uv run demiurge package uninstall context_reseed --core assistant --preview
uv run demiurge package uninstall context_reseed --core assistant

Uninstall removes package-owned files and pipeline entries. It does not remove context/reseed.md.
