Proactive "make the most of gbrain" coaching. Runs `gbrain advisor` on a cadence and pings the user with the top high-leverage actions for their brain: version drift, pending migrations, stalled jobs, low embed coverage, setup smells, and uninstalled brain skills. Read-only; always asks before fixing.
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
# gbrain Advisor
> **Convention:** See `skills/conventions/brain-first.md`. This skill is the
> proactive voice of the brain — it tells the owner how to run it better.
## Contract
This skill guarantees:
- **Read-only.** `gbrain advisor` never mutates. It computes a ranked list of
actions from existing brain state.
- **Print, never execute.** You SHOW the user the findings and ASK before running
any fix. The user owns every decision.
- **Bounded nagging.** On a cadence, surface only what changed or what's
critical; don't repeat an ignored low-severity item every run.
## When to run
- On demand when the user asks "how do I get more out of this brain?"
- On a **weekly** cadence via the cron recipe below (even idle brains get a
"here's how to run this better" ping).
- Monthly, the advisor also surfaces the backup-coverage verdict (`gbrain
backup status` — which knowledge repos have no git remote); relay any warn.
## How to run it
```bash
gbrain advisor --json
```
Exit code is the severity gate (E2): `0` clean, `1` warn, `2` critical. The JSON
payload is `{ version, generated_at, worst, findings: [...] }`. Each finding has:
- `severity` — `critical` | `warn` | `info`

How to install
mdr add garrytan/gbrain/gbrain-advisor@sha256:c9e51d60912121e0The 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.
