Use when turning Brigade's native ready set, outcome rank, and ROADMAP.md into a dependency-filed plan artifact under .brigade/work/plans/ - propose GraphTrail-derived edges (blocks from def/use, conflicts-with from write overlap) marked derived and requiring confirmation. Degrade cleanly when GraphTrail is unavailable. Never a subcommand.
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
# forward-plan Turn the native ready set, outcome ranking, and the repo ROADMAP into one dependency-filed plan artifact. Brigade stays invoke-only. This skill is the allowlist-bound agent recipe. It is a registry skill, never a CLI subcommand - the planning sequence stays inspectable. ## When this applies - You need a forward plan that joins what is ready now with roadmap direction. - An operator schedules a headless harness against this skill for planning. - The workspace has (or can create) `.brigade/work/` and may or may not have GraphTrail installed. ## Allowlist Work only through this allowlist: - `brigade work ready --json` (add `--explain` when blocked items matter) - `brigade outcome rank --json` (optional `--by-capability` / `--recency`) - Read of repo-root `ROADMAP.md` under the parse contract below - `brigade code …` for GraphTrail footprint / impact / doctor checks - `brigade work task edge …` / `brigade work task add --graph …` only after an operator confirms derived edges (never auto-apply. See Safety gates) - `brigade work plans` to list existing plan artifacts - Write only under `.brigade/work/plans/` (the plan JSON + plan.md pair) …

How to install
mdr add escoffier-labs/brigade/forward-plan@sha256:2f298c45bfd1d944The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260810.55d5073, 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.
