setup SKILL.md skillA

setup from garrytan/gbrain is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add garrytan/gbrain/setup@git:20261007.590bb9a

Pins git:20261007.590bb9a in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Add keyless GBrain memory to an existing agent, or connect a hosted brain while preserving identity and configuration.

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

# Set up GBrain memory

Give the agent the user already has a reliable memory. Preserve its identity,
native memory, existing instructions, and unrelated configuration. Start with
keyless storage and keyword retrieval. A private repository, identity interview,
automatic capture, paid API key, or background service is not a prerequisite.

## Contract

- Select the intended brain and source before inspecting or changing installation state.
- Reuse a healthy installation; diagnose partial or conflicting state without reinitializing memory.
- Relay the mandatory search-mode matrix and obtain the operator's choice.
- Save explicit memories with provenance and verify a randomized write/readback.
- Report software installation, native instruction activation, and cross-conversation recall separately.
- Automatic capture, imports, connectors, schedules, and paid enrichment require explicit opt-in.

## Phase 1: Choose the path

Use the user's existing context; do not repeat choices they already made.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add garrytan/gbrain/setup@sha256:b73d9f9c93d419d8

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261007.590bb9a, 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.
