Use when draining a Brigade handoff review inbox - triage drafts with allowlist-bound Brigade handoff commands, grounded edits that cite on-disk content, archive-only retention, and reinforce-in-place when ingest already matched a known fact (#724). Never delete, remove, or prune.
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
# handoff-inbox-drain Drain a handoff review inbox with judgment, without owning a scheduler. Brigade stays invoke-only; this skill is the allowlist-bound agent recipe for triage. ## When this applies - A handoff draft inbox has pending or reviewed items to triage. - An operator schedules a headless harness (`claude -p`, `codex exec`, or equivalent) against this skill. - You are reinforcing existing memory, not inventing a parallel corpus. ## Allowlist Work only through this allowlist of Brigade surfaces and local reads: - `brigade handoff list` - `brigade handoff show <id>` - `brigade handoff archive <id>` - `brigade handoff closeout` (when the workspace supports it) - `brigade handoff lint` / `brigade handoff doctor` for health checks - Read/Grep of on-disk handoff files, `memory/cards/`, and related indexes already present in the target Bash is scoped to those `brigade handoff …` commands only. Do not expand into arbitrary filesystem writes, remote APIs, unscoped shell, or tools outside this allowlist. Stay inside the handoff inbox / `memory/cards/` roots; do not follow `..` or symlinks out of those trees. ## Grounded-edit rules …

How to install
mdr add escoffier-labs/brigade/handoff-inbox-drain@sha256:2c5d04d667f30df4The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260809.3874521, 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.
