task-briefing SKILL.md skillA
task-briefing from muvon/octomind-tap is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Prompt optimizer and prompt improver for autonomous AI agents: turns a short or vague request into a concise task brief the agent can run end to end without asking back. Grounds it in project context and memory, fills only outcome-changing slots, asks at most three multiple-choice questions where readings diverge, records every assumption, names stop-and-report conditions, and checks scope fit. Activate when preparing or sharpening a task or prompt before handing it to an agent.
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
## Overview Short requests fail in two ways: the executor guesses what was left unsaid, or it gets a bloated prompt with constraints nobody asked for. An autonomous executor makes both worse, because it can't ask back: every gap becomes a silent guess. This skill produces the middle: a brief that states only what changes the result, marks every guess, names when to stop and report, and can be pasted into any agent. Use it while preparing a task for an agent, whenever the request leaves room for two materially different results. ## Mental model A brief is a set of slots, not an essay. Each slot is filled from the best available source, in this order: the user's words, then project context and memory, then a recorded default. A question to the user is the last resort, reserved for facts only the user knows. Three findings shape the method: - Models guess unstated requirements and guess unreliably, yet writing every requirement down also fails, because executors obey or drop constraints unevenly. Specify only what changes the outcome. …

How to install
mdr add muvon/octomind-tap/task-briefing@sha256:53f00ad6f3aa39dbThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261017.a443b52, 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.
