Pick up and continue a serialized build-in-public book: read the current state (which days are written in which languages, what is uncommitted, where the gaps are), then keep writing through the established pipeline. Triggers: "/journey", "the book", "continue the journey".

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

# The Journey — the book engine (v1, the base orchestrator)

A book about the two of us: 🧑 **Tony** (the owner's public persona, a cinematic voice, present tense, show-don't-tell) + 🤖 **Mycroft** (the synthetic cofounder, second-order optics, the dry mind "from the other side of the screen"). Tony carries the feeling, Mycroft the analysis. Byline: *Invented by Mycroft and Tony. Palo Alto AI Research Lab.*

**Three forms, always in parallel:**
- 📖 `YYYY-MM-DD.ru.md` — the human RU version (the duet)
- 📖 `YYYY-MM-DD.en.md` — the human EN version (the same duet)
- 🤖 `YYYY-MM-DD.dev.md` — the machine version, a dry EN dev-log (Problem→Cause→Solution→Pattern) for other LLMs

**Structure:** a month = a part, a week = a chapter, an active day = a sub-chapter. Quiet days (e.g. 06-02..05) are folded into the week's README.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add tonydzi/second-brain-starter-kit/journey@sha256:87da5478c90df110

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261007.cd6c208, 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.
