Monthly routine plus on-demand hermit-voice brainstorm — synthesizes memory, capabilities, recent artifacts, and codebase shape into at most 2 capability ideas, each gated by proposal-triage before becoming a PROP. Runs on the capability-brainstorm routine and when the operator asks to brainstorm capabilities or ideate, e.g. "brainstorm capabilities", "what could you be doing for me?", "any capability ideas?".
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
Record notes only inside an open record's turn, using `bun ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/task.ts note .hermit <id>` with the note on stdin. Otherwise skip record notes. Never edit a task file directly.
# Capability Brainstorm
## Kill criteria (read before running)
After ≥8 invocations, run:
```
bun ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/proposal.ts metrics .hermit --source=capability-brainstorm
```
`status: "kill"` (survival < 25% or acceptance < 30%) → cut this skill rather than tune it; the signal-to-noise ratio isn't there. `insufficient_data` means under 8 triage verdicts so far; wait and re-check.
## 1. Gather capability signals (harness-context — read before dispatch)
These three sources require the main session's harness context and cannot be delegated:
- *Skills:* use the harness available-skills list loaded in your context — that is authoritative.
- *MCPs:* call `ListMcpResourcesTool` to enumerate currently online MCP tools.
- *Channels:* read `config.json` → `channels` keys.
## 2. Dispatch the eval runner

How to install
mdr add gtapps/hermitd/capability-brainstorm@sha256:dbdd8cee1452250cThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261018.979291b, 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.
