Set up and maintain a "project brain" — a brain/ folder holding three living documents (decisions.md, flow.md, todo.md) that give a project persistent memory across chat sessions. Use this skill whenever the user wants a decision log, architecture/flow notes, project memory, living documentation, or notes that survive between sessions ("set up a project brain", "start a decision log for this repo", "remember why we chose X"). Also use it in any repo that already has a brain/ folder: after…
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
# brain-docs — a living project memory
Chat sessions end; the reasoning behind code shouldn't. This skill maintains a
`brain/` folder of three documents that together act as the project's memory:
| File | Holds | Answers |
|---|---|---|
| `brain/decisions.md` | Dated decision log (newest first) — the project's *history* | "Why is it built this way?" |
| `brain/flow.md` | Snapshot of how the code executes *today* | "What calls what, in what order?" |
| `brain/todo.md` | Tagged action items, caveats, ideas | "What's known-broken, known-limited, or worth doing?" |
Alongside them sits `brain/flow-viewer.html` ("Tracer"), a single-file page
that renders each flow as a step-through trace timeline: one swimlane per
architecture layer, steps grouped into phases, and a detail panel with the
plain-English explanation, what the step passes on, what happens if it fails,
and a live source excerpt. A presentation mode swaps function names for plain
English for non-engineers. It also keeps call-tree and graph views, a file
index and a lint report.
The system only works if the docs are updated **incrementally, as you work** —

How to install
mdr add iabhishekjhai/brain/brain-docs@sha256:a5fb43b13775a9f2The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261029.72b83b0, 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.
