Session-start framework sync and upgrade handoff. Refreshes deposit via npm + directive/deft update, validates xBRIEF lifecycle, detects stale origins (RFC D12), and finishes SCM release handoff in released | pr-open | blocked:<reason> (#1604).

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.

# Deft Directive Sync

Session-start framework sync and upgrade handoff -- refresh the framework deposit via npm + `directive update` / `deft update`, validate xBRIEF lifecycle structure, detect stale origins (RFC D12), then finish SCM release handoff in a named terminal state (#1604).

> **Canonical bootstrap / update path (#761 / #1604):** Install and upgrade via npm: `npm i -g @deftai/directive` (install) or `npm i -g @deftai/directive@latest` (upgrade); Node >= 20 is required. Then from the project root run `directive update` (or `deft update`) to refresh `.deft/core/`, optionally `deft migrate` for npm provenance, and `directive doctor` / `deft doctor` / `task doctor` to confirm deposit health. For machines without Node, the frozen legacy Go installer (`deft-install` / platform-specific `install-*` from GitHub Releases) is a no-Node…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add deftai/directive/deft-directive-sync@sha256:6448fbbe1143bdc1

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260830.886ca59, 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.
