Step of the where-to-start playbook: saves the founder's answers and the agreed first move with the brand, so later visits and other playbooks don't ask again. Run where-to-start instead; not for direct use.
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
# situation-save
## Input
The founder's answers (their words), the brand (id, slug, `coworker_agent_id`) unless there is no real brand, what the short look at the site showed, the constraint you named, the recommendation and whether they agreed, and today's date.
No real brand (none, or an empty placeholder): save nothing, and say so plainly ("I can't save these yet — there's no brand set up"). If a brand is set up later in this same conversation, run this atom then, before anything else asks the founder again.
## Steps
1. **The situation file.** `gooseworks:file_read` `brand/situation.md` (brand coworker scope; no coworker → default workspace under `brands/<brand-slug>/`, and say so once). Replace the "Latest" section; move the previous "Latest" under "History" (keep the last three). Format:
```markdown
# Situation — <Brand>
Do this first, because: <the constraint in one clause> → <the agreed first move>.
## Latest — <YYYY-MM-DD>
Founder said [owner, <date>]: sells <…> to <…>; where it sells <…>; stage <…>; goal <…> by <date>; can put in <…>/month and <…> h/week; does the work: <…>; next big date <…>; tried <…>; has <list / audience / network…>.
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add gooseworks-ai/goose-skills/where-to-start-situation-save@sha256:0b50f95a1c0f694eThe line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.1, 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.
