Find and install skills for what you're doing — tech or reasoning gaps. Matches activity and tech context to relevant skills. Use when entering unfamiliar tech, stuck on a reasoning challenge, or no skill fits.
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
# Acquire Skills
Find and install skills for the current task — across both tech and thinking/reasoning dimensions.
## Usage
```
/brana:acquire-skills — scan current activity + project
/brana:acquire-skills <task-id> — scan a specific task's needs
/brana:acquire-skills <keyword> — direct search ("cloudflare", "decision matrix")
```
## Never suggest these (brana workflow internals)
The following skills are system workflow tools, not capability skills. Never surface them as recommendations:
`build`, `backlog`, `close`, `sitrep`, `onboard`, `align`, `reconcile`, `ship`, `docs`,
`retrospective`, `review`, `gemini`, `claudemd`, `plugin`, `scheduler`, `do`, `log`,
`export-pdf`, `verify-docs`, `client-retire`, `cargo-machete`, `bash-defensive-patterns`,
`rust-skills`, `gsheets`, `meta-templates`, `mcp-builder`, `memory`, `discover`.
Thinking skills ARE valid to recommend: `decide`, `brainstorm`, `challenge`, `swot-analysis`,
`decision-matrix`, `critical-thinking-logical-reasoning`, `pre-mortem`, `inversion`,
`first-principles`, `second-order-thinking`, `six-thinking-hats`, `systems-thinking`,
`jobs-to-be-done`.

How to install
mdr add martineserios/thebrana/acquire-skills@sha256:e333ead55f03d414The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260805.3952b77, 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.
