Set up the user's "brain", a single folder where their agent organises everything by project (an AGENTS.md, one folder per project and notes), after an interview about who they are, their technical level and how they want their agent to work. Writes that working style into the global rules of every agent (and Hermes on their server), and installs the brain skills (/done, /create-project, /cleanup, projects, skill-manager). Use when the user wants to set up or initialize their brain, organise…

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

Set up the user's brain: one folder, run by their agent, where every piece of work lives in a project, so any future session can read one file and know who the user is, what they work on and where everything is. Before building anything, interview them, then write how they want to be talked to into the global rules, so every agent in every folder (and Hermes on their server) works their way from now on, and install the skills that keep the brain alive. Talk to the user in their language, one short question at a time, with no jargon (never say "frontmatter", "kebab-case", "symlink" or "repo" to them). Write every file in English, whatever language you talk in: the global rules, `AGENTS.md`, every `About.md` and `Roadmap.md`, the skills. Translate their answers; only names (products, people, tools) stay as they wrote them.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add melvynx/ai-maxxing-skills/setup-brain@sha256:9f39463b259808ae

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261024.45f2bfd, 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.
