Refresh g-docs/project_brief.md as the project evolves — reads current state, asks targeted questions, and updates the brief without a full re-onboard.

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

**Announce:** "Using g-brief to refresh the project brief."

Incrementally update `g-docs/project_brief.md`. This skill is lighter than `/g-onboard` — it assumes an existing brief and a project already in progress.

## Step 1 — Read current state

If `g-docs/project_brief.md` does not exist, tell the developer: "No g-docs/project_brief.md found. Run /g-kickoff or /g-onboard first to create one." and stop.

Read the following (skip gracefully if missing):
- `g-docs/project_brief.md` — current brief (capture the tech decisions table and goals)
- `g-docs/ROADMAP.md` — milestone status and the `## Active Session` handoff block
- `g-docs/todo.md` — open tasks
- Run `git log --oneline -20` via Bash — last 20 commits

Present a summary of what you found:

```
Current brief: [date if present / unknown]
Milestone:     [current milestone + status]
Open tasks:    [count from g-docs/todo.md]
Recent commits: [count] — last: "[most recent commit message]"
```

## Step 2 — Targeted interview

Ask only the questions that are actually uncertain based on Step 1. Never ask about things already answered in the existing brief. At most 4 questions, one at a time.

Always ask:

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add onlygian/g-forge/g-brief@sha256:d53c5905dba12f7e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260722.4b86922, 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.
