align from martineserios/thebrana is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add martineserios/thebrana/align@git:20260830.4f0ccb3

Pins git:20260830.4f0ccb3 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Align a project to brana practices — assess gaps, plan, implement, verify. Auto-detects type. Use when setting up a new project or realigning an existing one.

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

# Align — Active Project Alignment

DISCOVER → ASSESS → PLAN → IMPLEMENT → VERIFY → DOCUMENT.

Creates files, configures structure, and implements practices. Unlike `/brana:onboard` (diagnostic, read-only), this skill actively builds. Replaces `/project-align` and `/venture-align`.

## When to use

Initial setup of a new project, or when an existing project needs structural alignment. Run `/brana:onboard` first for the diagnostic — `/brana:align` implements what `/brana:onboard` finds.

---

## Step Registry

On entry, create a CC Task step registry. Follow the [guided-execution protocol](../_shared/guided-execution.md).

Register these steps: DISCOVER, ASSESS, PLAN, IMPLEMENT, VERIFY, DOCUMENT.

**Plan mode:** Enter plan mode for DISCOVER and ASSESS (read-only diagnostic phases). Exit plan mode before IMPLEMENT.

---

## Phase 0: DISCOVER

Before assessment, gather context. This shapes tier, CLAUDE.md content, and implementation depth.

**Ask what can't be inferred. Skip what's obvious from the codebase.**

### Auto-detect project type

Same detection as `/brana:onboard`: check for manifests (code) and venture dirs/keywords (venture). Classify as code, venture, or hybrid.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add martineserios/thebrana/align@sha256:2799a93ee6f9d33c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260830.4f0ccb3, 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.
