gbrain-advisor skillA
gbrain-advisor is agent-read markdown (skill) from garrytan/gbrain: Proactive "make the most of gbrain" coaching. Runs `gbrain advisor` on a cadence and pings the user with the top high-leverage actions for their brain: version drift, pending migrations, stalled jobs, low embed coverage, setup smells, and uninstalled brain skills. Read-only; always asks before fixing..
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
# gbrain Advisor
> **Convention:** See `skills/conventions/brain-first.md`. This skill is the
> proactive voice of the brain — it tells the owner how to run it better.
## Contract
This skill guarantees:
- **Read-only.** `gbrain advisor` never mutates. It computes a ranked list of
actions from existing brain state.
- **Print, never execute.** You SHOW the user the findings and ASK before running
any fix. The user owns every decision.
- **Bounded nagging.** On a cadence, surface only what changed or what's
critical; don't repeat an ignored low-severity item every run.
## When to run
- On demand when the user asks "how do I get more out of this brain?"
- On a **weekly** cadence via the cron recipe below (even idle brains get a
"here's how to run this better" ping).
- Monthly, the advisor also surfaces the backup-coverage verdict (`gbrain
backup status` — which knowledge repos have no git remote); relay any warn.
## How to run it
```bash
gbrain advisor --json
```
Exit code is the severity gate (E2): `0` clean, `1` warn, `2` critical. The JSON
payload is `{ version, generated_at, worst, findings: [...] }`. Each finding has:
- `severity` — `critical` | `warn` | `info`

How to install
mdr add garrytan/gbrain/gbrain-advisor@v1.0.0mdr add garrytan/gbrain/gbrain-advisor@sha256:b4186ce45ba1b5b9Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
