Wires, repairs, refreshes, or inspects a repo's dotbrain Brainspace by driving the dotbrain CLI. Use when starting a project under dotbrain, attaching an existing repo to a Brainspace, repairing wiring in a main checkout or linked Git worktree, reconciling agent workspace resources after an upgrade, or checking bootstrap expectations.

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

# Wire Brain

Connect an adopter repo to its private Brainspace through `dotbrain`. The CLI owns wiring,
scaffolding, resource reconciliation, hooks, skill links, agent delivery, and beads setup. Agents using
this skill choose the right CLI command, inspect the result, and hand Brain content changes to the
skill that owns that content.

## Choose the wiring branch

For every checkout, check installation below, then choose a CLI command. When attaching or
repairing a linked Git worktree, read [Worktree attachment](references/worktree.md) for its shared
state and verification rules. `dotbrain wire` discovers the main checkout through Git metadata;
the CLI creates the worktree's wiring.

## First run

Before choosing a CLI command, check whether `dotbrain` is on `PATH`. If it is, continue without
installing anything.

If it is absent, this is a machine that has never run dotbrain — so resolve the dotbrain home
before installing anything.

### Ask before creating a dotbrain home

Check for the dotbrain home: `$DOTBRAIN_HOME` when set, otherwise `~/dotbrain`. If it already
exists, say nothing and move on to the installer.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add arminzou/dotbrain/wire-brain@sha256:eb9fb0f657e304f4

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261017.5b1062d, 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.
