Compose a short briefing from several sources at once — headlines, tracked topics, and the user's own open items — as one digest instead of separate answers. Use when the user asks for a briefing, a digest, a rundown, or "what do I need to know today".
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
# Daily Brief
The composition example: several independent sources collapsed into one thing
worth reading. The hard part is not gathering — it is cutting.
## Configure
The user picks the sections. A good default:
| Section | Source |
|---|---|
| Headlines | `search_web` on the user's 2–3 tracked topics |
| Tracked pages | `fetch_page` on specific URLs they follow |
| Their own items | `recall` of open commitments and reminders |
## Procedure
1. **Gather each section independently.** Run the searches and fetches for every
configured section before writing anything.
2. **Tolerate partial failure.** If one source is unreachable, produce the brief
without it and add a one-line "couldn't reach X" note. A brief that fails
entirely because one feed was down is useless.
3. **Cut hard.** Three items per section, maximum. If nothing in a section is
worth reading, drop the section and say "nothing new" — do not pad.
4. **Write it in this shape:**
- **One line up top** — the single thing that matters most today.
- **Per section** — up to three bullets, each one sentence, each with its
link.
- **Your items** — open commitments from memory, with dates.
…
The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
