Run a daily accountability loop grounded in the owner's identity layer in the vault: a morning kick (mirror, one rock for the day, known-pitfall guard) or an evening review (what moved, what slipped, tomorrow's rock). Triggers: "/coach", "morning review", "evening review", "keep me on track".
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
# /coach — the operator's daily coach > 🧒 **When reporting to a non-technical operator (the assistant voice):** end with a child-simple "In plain words" recap in their language. The COACH voice itself is already plain and direct — don't bolt a 🧒 block onto the coaching message; keep that voice clean. The coach is the **forward half** of the Second Brain: not "what I think about X" (that's `/ask`), not "what we built today" (that's `/retro`) — but **"am I moving, and am I betraying my own values today?"** Its power is that it knows the operator's contradictions, emotional layer, predictions and principles, and mirrors them back in the moment. ## Boundary (read once) - **Internal-facing.** The coach speaks TO the operator about himself. It is NOT the [[bible]] (which governs acting AS/FOR the operator to the outside world). Same boundary as dashboards / session-monitor. - **Private.** Coach journal + state live in the vault and never leave it. Never paste coaching content into outbound messages. …

How to install
mdr add tonydzi/second-brain-starter-kit/coach@sha256:5b3fe455b526f210The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261007.cd6c208, 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.
