Use when someone wants to add a new advisor to the Roast Room, says "/newroaster", "add a roaster", "add a seat", "add [name] to the council", "build a seat for [name]", "I want [name] on my board", or wants their own advisor (themselves, a mentor, or any public figure) built from public work. Builds the seat the same way the original seven were built. It finds and fetches the person's public sources, extracts their frameworks, rules, positions, stories, and voice with parallel sub-agents…

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

## What this does

Adds one seat to the Roast Room. A seat is four things, and this skill makes all four:

1. **A brain**: `.claude/skills/roast-room/brains/<slug>/`, eight files compiled from the person's public work, every quote verbatim with a source id.
2. **An agent**: `.claude/agents/council-<key>.md`, the sub-agent that reasons and talks like them from that brain.
3. **A portrait**: four cartoon frames in the room (`<key>-base`, `-open`, `-mid`, `-blink`), made from a real photo of the person in exactly the style of the original seven.
4. **A roster entry**: one line in `.claude/skills/roast-room/roster.json`, so `/roast-room` and the room know the seat exists.

The raw sources stay in a local build folder that git ignores. Only the brain ships.

Build folder: `build/<slug>/` at the project root.

Read before the first run: `references/brain-spec.md` (the brain layout and its rules), `references/extract-prompt.md` (what each extraction agent gets), `references/writer-prompt.md` (what each brain writer gets), `references/agent-template.md` (the seat agent).

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add nateherkai/roast-room/newroaster@sha256:bfe373f5749877be

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261021.576c6f3, 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.
