coauthor-brief skillA
coauthor-brief is agent-read markdown (skill) from pedrohcgs/claude-code-my-workflow: Generate a co-author / collaborator handoff brief for a multi-author, multi-machine project — summarizing what changed since the last brief (git delta), the current state of each artifact (manuscript, analysis, slides), open questions, how to reproduce locally, and any restricted-data access steps. Use when user says "coauthor brief", "handoff brief", "bring my coauthor up to speed", "what changed since last week", "onboard a collaborator", "write a handoff for [name]", or before sending a co-au.
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 before it reaches your agent: the main file against the SHA-256 recorded here, the others against the git hashes of its source commit. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# /coauthor-brief — Collaborator Handoff Brief Produce a single Markdown brief a co-author (or your future self on another machine) can read in a few minutes to know **what changed, where each artifact stands, what's blocked, and how to run the pipeline locally** — including restricted-data access steps a new collaborator needs. [`meta-governance.md`](../../rules/meta-governance.md) covers the *memory* side of cross-machine work (what syncs via git, what stays in gitignored native auto memory); this skill covers the *human* side: the per-person, per-session handoff. **Core principle:** `/checkpoint` is for *you* resuming; `/coauthor-brief` is for *someone else* starting. The first answers "where am I?"; the second answers "what do I need to know to take over a piece of this?" ## When to use - **Before sending a co-author the repo** (or a PR / branch) and you want them oriented, not archaeologizing the git log. - **Onboarding a new RA / collaborator** who needs the reproduce-locally and restricted-data steps in one place. - **Periodic sync** on a long multi-author project — "here's the delta since the last brief." …

How to install
mdr add pedrohcgs/claude-code-my-workflow/coauthor-brief@v1.0.0mdr add pedrohcgs/claude-code-my-workflow/coauthor-brief@sha256:7ff009e00db283dcPin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 for exact bytes. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install fetches those bytes again and checks them, so it installs them exactly or fails.
