[Adam''s Skills] DEPRECATED — superseded by /where-are-we. Do not use for new work. Printed a plain-English re-entry briefing for a user who has lost the thread of a long-running session — after a distraction, overnight, or over a weekend. Re-explains what the session is, where it got to, what state the work is in right now, what Claude is waiting on from the user, and the single next step. Grounds every claim in git and files on disk before narrating, so it re-explains the session rather than…
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
# Brief Me — DEPRECATED > **This skill is deprecated. Use [`/where-are-we`](../where-are-we/SKILL.md) instead.** > > If someone has invoked this, tell them in one line that it is retired, then run > `/where-are-we` for them. Run the brief below only if they explicitly ask for this one anyway. > > **Why it was retired.** `/where-are-we` covers the same re-entry case and scales to the gap: > it checks how long the user has been away, gives just *done* and *left* to someone who is still > active, and adds a paragraph on what the task is for someone who has been gone. Six fixed > headings were more than most re-entries needed. The user has come back to this session with weak or no memory of it. Reading the last message will not fix that: the last message was written for someone who was here five minutes ago. It leans on pronouns, on shorthand coined mid-session, and on file names introduced hours back. It continues the thread; it does not introduce it. Produce **one short briefing that puts them back in the chair.** Then stop. ## 1. Check the state before you narrate The failure mode of this skill is a fluent, confident, wrong story. Guard against it by …

How to install
mdr add adamlinscott/claude-skills/brief-me@sha256:800b630e4827acd1The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261026.c0a4905, 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.
