Add a published design source (an article, a guideline page, a study) to the design-brain ledger as reviewable candidates. Use whenever the user shares a link or a passage and says to add it, save it, capture it, or "put this in the brain" — and whenever they read something and want its rules kept. Extracts only checkable rules, cites the source, and files them for review; it never promotes anything.

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

# design-brain-add-source

Turns something the user just read into candidates in their brain's `inbox/`, each with a
reference back to where it came from. The user reviews them later in the queue; nothing
here decides what they believe.

## When to use this

They paste a URL or a passage and want it kept: "add this", "save this to the brain",
"capture these guidelines". If they are describing a decision from their own work instead
of a published source, that is a different thing — a harvested rule, not a reference.

## Steps

0. **Check the reading list first.** If they say "process my reading list" or give no source
   at all, read `inbox/_reading-list.md` in their brain: links they saved from the review
   app. Work through them, and remove each line once its candidates are filed.

1. **Read the source.** Fetch the URL with whatever browsing tool this session has, or use
   the text they pasted. If you cannot reach it, say so and ask them to paste the passage
   rather than writing rules from the title alone.

2. **Find the brain.** Run `design-brain check` in their brain directory to confirm it is
   there. If they have not said which, ask, or use `$DESIGN_BRAIN`.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add fabioalencar/design-brain/design-brain-add-source@sha256:40ff0080e4dd7a52

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260904.111df7d, 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.
