brain-docs skillA
brain-docs is agent-read markdown (skill) from iabhishekjhai/brain: 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 comple.
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

# 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) | "Why is it built this way?" | | `brain/flow.md` | Whole-system execution flow | "What calls what, in what order?" | | `brain/todo.md` | Tagged action items, caveats, ideas | "What's known-broken, known-limited, or worth doing?" | The system only works if the docs are updated **incrementally, as you work** — not in a batch when someone remembers to ask. A future session (or a future maintainer) relies on them being current. There are two modes. Check whether `brain/` exists in the project root: - **No `brain/` folder, or the user asks to set one up → Setup mode.** - **`brain/` exists → Maintain mode.** --- ## Setup mode 1. **Create `brain/`** in the project root and seed the three files from `assets/templates/` (in this skill's folder). Adapt each file's title line to the project's name; keep the maintenance blockquotes — they remind …

How to install
mdr add iabhishekjhai/brain/brain-docs@git:20260912.6cd0a9dmdr add iabhishekjhai/brain/brain-docs@sha256:635f110afc335754Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
