Brain knowledge base operations. The core read/write cycle: brain-first lookup, read-enrich-write loop, source attribution, ambient enrichment, back-linking. Read this before any brain interaction.
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
# Brain Operations — The Ambient Context Layer Recall relevant context before responding. Save explicit requests with provenance; automatic capture is off until the user opts in. Reading this skill does not enable capture, delegation, or paid enrichment. A chat-only instruction suppresses writes for that turn, including when standing capture is enabled. > **Convention:** See `skills/conventions/brain-first.md` for the lookup chain and copyable retrieval filters. > **Convention:** See `skills/conventions/quality.md` for citation and back-link rules. > **Memory verbs (MEMORY_VERBS v1, gbrain ≥ 0.43).** Over MCP, prefer the five > core memory verbs for the read/write cycle: **`remember(fact, provenance, > ttl?)`** to save a single durable fact (mandatory provenance; dedupes + > supersedes), **`recall(query | entity, budget_tokens)`** to read it back > budget-packed, **`entity(name)`** for a zero-LLM card, **`synthesize(question)`** > for the expensive cross-page answer, **`forget(id)`** to withdraw active memory > (history, source material, and backups may remain). `context_pack` and `delta` > complete the seven-verb surface.

How to install
mdr add garrytan/gbrain/brain-ops@sha256:332af1d0a1e66fdaThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.2.0, 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.
