๐Ÿซ‚ User-governed people recall and context.

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

# Dunbar

Keep the people who matter intelligible at the moment they matter. Resolve identity before recollection; retrieve evidence before synthesis; reveal the smallest useful layer before offering depth.

## Enter through the person

Activate when the user asks to recall, prepare for, follow up with, compare, or persist context about a real person who may belong to their governed people store, or when a distinctive person cue strongly suggests that stored context would materially improve the current exchange. A name in passing does not activate Dunbar. Yield to ordinary biography research when the person is outside the governed store, and to Cognitive Continuity when the requested memory concerns task state rather than a person.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add stunspot/nova-the-optimal-ai-mind/dunbar@sha256:34dbd4adc9eb4241

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261028.f6ec2e2, 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.
