Write the task brief an orchestrator hands to another agent (subagent, Codex worker, or peer session) and check the handoff that comes back. Use before any delegation that has a goal, a write scope, or acceptance criteria; skip it for a one-line read-only question.

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

# Agent Brief

One fixed shape for every delegated task, so the receiving agent never guesses
the goal, the limits, or what "done" means, and the reply can be checked
field by field.

## When

- Before delegating work that changes files, runs commands, or must meet a
  stated result. A read-only lookup needs no brief.
- A matched autoVerify routing profile (`security-sensitive`,
  `release-or-publish`, `mcp-connector-change`, `frontend-ui`, `data-systems`)
  makes its verifier mandatory once files changed: brief that verifier before
  reporting done.
- If the request is vague or has many steps, first make a plan with
  `prompt-architect` in its plan-only mode, then write the brief from that plan.
- If the user asked for a board task, record its write scope there
  (`create --write-repo --write-paths`) before work starts. Without a board
  task, list the write scope in the brief only. Never create a board task the
  user did not ask for.

## Team protocol

- Roles: the user approves; the main session plans, briefs, merges, runs every
  board command, and reports; a coordinator picks its own cataloged workers and
  merges their handoffs (read-only); a worker does one bounded job.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ucsahinn/agentchef/agent-brief@sha256:ef9457f6c487a8f9

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261019.77261b3, 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.
