Summary
The context group provides plugins that add model-visible context to each request without defining any tool: workspace instruction files become guidance, @file mentions offer path completion, other sessions can be referenced as bounded snapshots, and the model can see the current time and the agent's tmux location. All of them are opt-in except agent-instructions, which dsh-base includes by default and a profile patch can disable. Context is durable: injected instructions and references enter session history as user-role messages, so they persist, replay, and compact like other conversation content. This page maps the group; each package README owns the per-package contract.
