brain-ops skillA
brain-ops is agent-read markdown (skill) from garrytan/gbrain: Brain knowledge base operations. The core read/write cycle: brain-first lookup, read-enrich-write loop, source attribution, ambient enrichment, back-linking. Read this before any brain interaction..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified before it reaches your agent: the main file against the SHA-256 recorded here, the others against the git hashes of its source commit. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

Reading this skill does not enable capture, delegation, or paid enrichment. A chat-only instruction suppresses writes for that turn, including when standing capture is enabled. > **Convention:** See `skills/conventions/brain-first.md` for the 5-step lookup protocol. > **Convention:** See `skills/conventions/quality.md` for citation and back-link rules. > **Memory verbs (MEMORY_VERBS v1, gbrain ≥ 0.43).** Over MCP, prefer the five > core memory verbs for the read/write cycle: **`remember(fact, provenance, > ttl?)`** to save a single durable fact (mandatory provenance; dedupes + > supersedes), **`recall(query | entity, budget_tokens)`** to read it back > budget-packed, **`entity(name)`** for a zero-LLM card, **`synthesize(question)`** > for the expensive cross-page answer, **`forget(id)`** to withdraw active memory > (history, source material, and backups may remain). `context_pack` and `delta` > complete the seven-verb surface.

How to install
mdr add garrytan/gbrain/brain-ops@v1.2.0mdr add garrytan/gbrain/brain-ops@sha256:566dcf7f12f18fabPin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 for exact bytes. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install fetches those bytes again and checks them, so it installs them exactly or fails.
