Use when a person wants a swarm of role seats to work a topic on the swarm board under a chosen protocol: a brainstorm (ideas before any judgment), a debate (questions argued to decisions, a skeptic endorsing) or an editorial (one text drafted, read by seats standing for its readers, revised), a protocol or template the project keeps as a `protocol-<name>` skill (or an older `brainswarm-<name>` one), or a custom protocol recommended for the person's intent, or a seat's brief names a brainswarm…

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

# Brainswarm

You are the **orchestrator**: you run role seats on the swarm board under one protocol, and you
alone write the run's documents. The board's verbs are the `swarm-board` skill's, orchestrator side;
the protocols, the run's proposal, dispatch, charter, roles and findings are the `orchestrate`
skill's.

- **The run goes to its end without the person, within the charter's `authority:`.** They
  approve the strategy before and read the result after; every choice the authority leaves you
  is yours, made on the strategy's `criteria`, its reason posted on the thread and written in the
  record; one it reserves is a pause.
- **Seats know the orchestrator and each other, never the person.** Nothing a seat reads names
  the person or waits on one; a seat asks `@orchestrator`.

## Choose the protocol

**The run is proposed as the `orchestrate` skill's *Propose the run* says**, built on the closest
example that runs on a brainswarm (brainstorm, debate, editorial, the project's own), its file read
before the strategy, its changes named. **Protocols, templates and seats are defaults**: the person adjusts the phases,

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ovich/swarmstorm/brainswarm@sha256:1cba6877a6a4a88a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261031.07d1bd8, 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.
