Returns a 5-line executive summary of recent work. Checks open records first, then recent task outcomes. Activates on messages like "brief", "what happened", "morning update", "overnight summary", "progress", "what are you working on", "how's it going".
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
# Task Brief
Provide a concise executive summary of recent task activity. Designed for morning check-ins, phone/channel consumption, and quick status updates.
## Commands
- `brief-digest`: `bun ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/brief-digest.ts .hermit`
- `artifact-render`: `bun ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/artifact.ts render <type> .hermit`
## Always-On Delivery Rule
If `config.always_on` is `true`, deliver all operator-facing output per `prompts/resident.md § Operator Notification`. The terminal is unmonitored in always-on mode. For the push-fallback branch, condense the brief to a single line (per § Operator Notification push format): include whichever of waiting decision count and active heartbeat alerts are present and non-zero; omit zero or unavailable fields. Example: `Brief: 16 decisions waiting, 1 alert — open CC to view`. In interactive mode, output to terminal. This applies to all flags below.
## Dispatch
Resolve scope before composing or dispatching any brief:

How to install
mdr add gtapps/claude-code-hermit/brief@sha256:806d01e08dbd22d0The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261107.3ca69c7, 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.
