signal-detector skillA

signal-detector is agent-read markdown (skill) from garrytan/gbrain: Opt-in ambient signal capture. After explicit enablement, applies on substantive inbound messages to detect original thinking and entity mentions. Use an authorized sub-agent where supported; otherwise detect inline. Aim to never block the main response..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Signal Detector — Ambient Brain Capture

After the user enables automatic capture, apply this lightweight pass to
substantive inbound messages within their chosen scope. It watches for:

1. **Original thinking** — the user's ideas, observations, theses, frameworks
2. **Entity mentions** — people, companies, media references

Original thinking is AT LEAST as valuable as entity extraction. Ideas are the
intellectual capital. Entities are bookkeeping. Both compound over time.

## Contract

This skill guarantees:
- Applies only after explicit automatic-capture opt-in (skips: no recorded
  choice, capture off, chat-only requests, and purely operational messages)
- Spawns as a sub-agent where the harness supports it; otherwise runs the
  detection inline before composing the reply. Never blocking the response
  is the intent, not a runtime contract
- Checks the user's stored capture choice before writing and honors narrower
  per-message instructions; a first-fire announcement is not consent
- Captures ideas with the user's EXACT phrasing (no paraphrasing)
- Detects entity mentions and creates/enriches brain pages
- Logs a one-line summary of what was captured
