Purpose: Interactive planning dialogue that produces a Brief artifact before architect and engineer.

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.

<!--
Purpose: Interactive planning dialogue that produces a Brief artifact before architect and engineer
         are spawned. Translates operator planning-intent into a committed, Skeptic-eligible Brief
         at docs/planning/<slug>.md via a structured multi-turn conversation. Synthesizes the
         outcome rubric (from product-discovery staged draft or inline elicitation) into the
         Brief's Outcome rubric field.

Public API: /ds-brief [topic] | /ds-brief --from <path>
            Invoked explicitly by the operator or auto-triggered by the conductor on
            planning-intent signals per Section 1.

Upstream deps: content/references/planning-artifacts.md (Brief template and field guidance,
               including Outcome rubric field schema);
               content/sections/02-delegation.md (surface-and-proceed protocol);
               content/rules/conventions.md (git worktree conventions, base-branch resolution);
               .agentic/brief-session.json (resume state, includes rubric array);

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add space-dinosaurs/dinostack/ds-brief@sha256:b6204bd8ce324944

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261012.5102812, 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.
